[BUG] describe-variable

[Nick Roberts]

In Emacs 22 evaluate:

(setq myvar '((0) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)))

(make-local-variable 'myvar)

(setq myvar 1)

then do C-h v myvar <RET>.

Help buffer output:

-------------

myvar's value is shown below.


Documentation:
Not documented as a variable.

Value:
Local in buffer *scratch*; global value is 
((0)
 (1)
 (2)
 (3)
 (4)
 (5)
 (6)
 (7)
 (8)
 (9))

-------------

Note the local value of 1 is not shown.

This bug is also in Emacs 21 but presumably has never been reported before.
There must be many more like it.
