1) If I click Customize in the *Help* buffer from `C-h v', I arrive at a
Customize buffer for only that variable, where there is no link to the
custom group of the variable, so I can't see how it might be related to
other variables in the group. It might be that what I really need is a
similarly named variable, but I can't browse the group to find it. In fact,
I can't even see what custom group the variable belongs to (no group name is
indicated).
It would be useful for these buffers to include a link to move to
the whole group. One complication is that the variable can belong
to more than one group. I am sure that complication can be overcome.
I don't want to implement this, but if someone else does, it can
be installed.
2a) The variable name does not appear as such. Instead, the name is
prettified using title-case and replacing dashes with spaces. A variable
with a mixed-case name like `Info-enable-edit' is indistiguishable in this
format from one that is all lowercase.
I have always been uncertain whether this prettifying of names is
a good thing. I am still not sure.
