Again, it is with the previous patch. With it, not only =AB You can customize the variable =BB can appear, but also =AB You can change at user level the variable =BB, which means that you can M-x set-var this var. The proposed text (quoted above) doesn't say that clearly. I find it very hard to understand. Anyway, my decision is not to add that new feature now.
