Hello,

I think it'd be nice, when doing M-x apropos-variable, to see the current
value of variable, at least *for one-liners*.

We could image just reporting "(...)" or some such for longer ones.

What do you think?

Best regards,
  Seb

I think it's a good idea, so I've now done this in Emacs 29.

I haven't added a user option to enable/disable this, but if somebody
requests it, we'll add it.
