bug#59248: 29.0.50; apropos lists keywords as if they were variables |

On a very recent (about yesterday) Emacs from HEAD, apropos lists
interned keywords as undocumented variables. Eg, the following
invocation:
M-x apropos RET distant-foreground RET
displays the following output:
> Type RET on a type label to view its full documentation.
>
> :distant-foreground
> Variable: (not documented)
> Value: :distant-foreground
This is technically correct --- keywords are variable-ish --- but quite
useless. At best, keywords just add noise to `apropos` output. At
worst, they may be misleading, since an user may assume they can somehow
control something by setq'ing a keyword.
