It is defined using defvar in replace.el. Its docstring does not start with a `*' either. Of course, we can not document every single defvar either. Should it be a defcustom? Yes. I converted it into a defcustom. What is actually the policy concerning :version keywords in converted old defvars? Strictly speaking, for people using only Custom to customize variables this is a _new_ customizable option, and thus should get a `:version "21.4"' (or whatever we are going to call the next release, I do not know whether that has actually already been decided.) However, this seemed silly for a ten year old variable, so I did _not_ put in a :version keyword. Sincerely, Luc.
