Subject: 26; `savehist-mode`: Make clear in the doc string that you can use it
 to save any variables
Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2018 18:14:37 -0700 (PDT)

Option `savehist-additional-variables' should be mentioned in the doc
string.

By default `savehist-mode' saves only ordinary minibuffer histories, and
that's not the case for `command-history', for example.  Users have been
known to ask how to save the `M-x' history across sessions.

Beyond, `command-history', you can tell `savehist-mode' to persist any
variables.  That possibility should be mentioned in the doc, as its
scope is far beyond what `savehist-mode' does by default.
