Subject: 23.0.60; C-h v should pick up lispified name in Customize
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 09:27:41 -0700

emacs -Q
M-x customize-option Info-hide-note-references
 
Put the cursor on the unlispified option name:
Info Hide Note References.
 
C-h v
 
The option name is not picked up as the default value. All commands,
such as `describe-variable', that ask the user to input a variable
name should use the lispified name as the default value:
Info-hide-note-references, in this case.
 
The way this should be treated generally is that `Info Hide Note
References' should simply be the _displayed form_ of the
variable. Under the covers, Emacs should always see the true variable
name.
