This was also my thinking when I proposed `apropos-option' and not
`apropos-user-option'.

But giving it a second thought I think `apropos-user-option' is fine.

It is a bit more explicit than necessary, but that's the game when
offering doc affordances.  

For newbies, this will just mean "my options", not something more
contrived than you can see when you are both an Emacs expert and
trying to put yourself in the newbie's shoes...

2 cts of course,
