;;; Commentary:
;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code. There are two entry
;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'. The latter enters a major
;; mode specifically for editing option values. Do `M-x describe-mode' in
;; that context for more details.
;; The customization buffer feature is intended to make this obsolete.
