  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
  26 ;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code.  There are two entry
  27 ;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'.  The latter enters a major
  28 ;; mode specifically for editing option values.  Do `M-x describe-mode' in
  29 ;; that context for more details.

  31 ;; The customization buffer feature is intended to make this obsolete.
