Hey, I never knew about `apropos-variable`. In fact, it never occurred
to me, until now, to try C-h a apropos. There's a whole wealth of
apropos-commands there, waiting to be discovered!
When I type C-h, only `apropos-command' is mentioned in the list of
options. (Yes, I know, that's because it's the only one with an entry in
the C-h keymap.)
As a matter of interest, how should I have discovered the existence of
these commands? Could it be that the "help" system could do with
enhancement?
