The completion function for describe-variable now uses the predicate
(lambda (vv)
(or (special-variable-p vv)
(get vv 'variable-documentation)))
This breaks using C-h v to examine let-bound variables in Lisp
backtraces.
Also, when coding I sometimes do (setq foo 1), and use C-h v to examine
the placeholder variable later on; this now fails.
There doesn't seem to be any good reason to restrict the completion this
way.
