OK, but it is not irrelevant as it is used in the
defun.

Yes, that works for (custom-variable-p 'test-var) but
again, if you examine the defun the interface looks
like this:

(interactive "v Variable: ")

And the question is: how do I make that accept
variables, *all* variables, not only those that pass
`custom-variable-p'?
