I suggest renaming `apropos-variable' to `apropos-option'
I think it is a good idea. If even I managed to forget about this
wrinkle and get surprised by it, others may well be surprised too.
I know the difference between "variable" and "user option", though
it had been years since it last entered my awareness. Other people
may never have known it.
