Yes, this is to be read with the change I proposed to remove this `*' in
C-h v.

Again, it is with the previous patch. With it, not only « You can
customize the variable » can appear, but also « You can change at user
level the variable », which means that you can M-x set-var this var.

This is just an eye candy change for C-h v: the user doesn't need this
`*', so let's remove it before printing. Why would it be a hard
question?

C-h v propose to change customizable vars ; this patch allows to
change all user option vars from C-h v. It looks like that :
,----[ C-h v show-paren-highlight-openparen RET ]
| show-paren-highlight-openparen is a variable defined in `paren.el'.
| Its value is t
|
|
| Documentation:
| Non-nil turns on openparen highlighting when matching forward.
|
| You can change at user level this variable.
`----
« change » is a hyperlink. Following it is the same as
M-x set-variable RET s-p-h-openparen RET, so leads to:
« Set show-paren-highlight-openparen globally to value: »
