Question: is there a way to get apropos, for variables,
to also show the current *value* of that variable?
Here's my doc for apropos:
apropos is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `apropos'.
(apropos APROPOS-REGEXP &optional DO-ALL)
Show all bound symbols whose names match APROPOS-REGEXP.
With optional prefix DO-ALL or if `apropos-do-all' is non-nil, also
show unbound symbols and key bindings, which is a little more
time-consuming. Returns list of symbols and documentation found.
I set apropos-do-all to 1 and tried it, but got no
actual *values*.
[ASIDE: how to (interactively) do M-x apropos with
the *prefix* "DO-ALL"?
or, for that matter, how to write a lisp expr that does it?
Here's an occur on do-all, for apropos.el:
26 lines matching "do-all" in buffer apropos.el.
42:;; Added apropos-do-all option.
46:;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
69:(defcustom apropos-do-all nil
358:(defun apropos-variable (regexp &optional do-all)
360:With optional prefix DO-ALL or if `apropos-do-all' is non-nil, also show
364: (if (or current-prefix-arg apropos-do-all)
370: (if (or do-all apropos-do-all)
380:(defun apropos-command (apropos-regexp &optional do-all var-predicate)
382:With optional prefix DO-ALL, or if `apropos-do-all' is non-nil, also
show
390: apropos-do-all)
398: (or do-all (setq do-all apropos-do-all))
402: (if do-all 'functionp 'commandp))))

Thanks in-advance for the do-all answers]
Back to having apropos also type out the *values* of the
variables finds?
Any idea?
(Sure would be simpler than having to (1) run apropos,
then (2) for each variable found, do C-H v on it!)
Thanks!
