In Emacs, a customizable variable is called an "option". There is no
other kind of option in Emacs. The doc refers to such as options, as
do also existing commands and other functions (`customize-option',
`customize-apropos-options', `customize-changed-options',
`whitespace-toggle-options',...)
Emacs 24.4 has introduced the poorly named command and face
`apropos-user-option' and `apropos-user-option-button'.
Please rename these as they should be named: `apropos-option' and
`apropos-option-button'.
Everyone in this bug thread, including RMS, had agreed that the name
should be `apropos-option', but Stefan acted otherwise. This is a
bad decision. It just makes things harder for users, by confusing them.
