Subject: 24.0.94; doc of `custom-apropos-options'
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:48:03 -0700

The doc is wrong wrt a prefix arg.  Using a prefix arg does not show you
only variables (including those that are not user options).  It shows
you all matching customize objects (options, faces, and groups) plus all
matching non-customizable variables.  This command is not about variables, if
you use a prefix arg.
 
In addition, it is redundant to say "customizable options".  All options
are customizable, by definition.  This latter problem is present in
`customize-apropos' as well as `customize-apropos-options'.

Prefix arg removed in trunk (Bug#11176).  Closing.
