When Emacs does not prompt with !, you can't enter it. This is so
self-explanatory as to not be worth documenting.
If there are both risky and unsafe variables, it does prompt with !,
but that only applies to the unsafe variables. This non-trivial case
is what the current manual refers to, quite clearly I think.
