1. There is no way that a user looking for a way to show the normal,
non-Lisp-expression display of an option value, would think to try "For Current
Display".
2. Mutually exclusive UI alternatives should be presented as such. Having
multiple menu items, of which a few are in fact alternatives, is misleading to
users.
There are two problems wrt this UI: (1) inappropriate menu-item name for what
`For Current Display" does and (2) no way to see that 3 of the menu items are
mutually exclusive alternatives.
(I'm not sure now where I saw "For Current Display", "For All Displays", and
"Show Lisp Expression". Perhaps that was from an earlier Emacs 24 build -
dunno. Now I see "Show Current Value" and "Show Saved Lisp Expression". But
the essential problems are the same as I've described.)
