I like Drew's idea. But if i have to C-u everytime to see all
functions/variables, then it would be a great pain writing elisps..
On the contrary, C-u is not friendly to newbies. So maybe a better
solution is to add/redefine two new bindings, `C-h c' and `C-h o' for
commands and options, respectively. [Currently `C-h c' is binded to
describe-key-briefly, which i find myself nearly never use..]
