For non-Lisp-programmers a better way to change values of user options is by using the Customization interface. It also provides commands to change values in the minibuffer: commands `customize-set-value' and `customize-set-variable' that work very like the current implementation of `set-variable'. Since `set-variable' was also intended to change the values of user options with the leading * in their docstrings, I think a new command `set-option' should be added with the body of current `set-variable', and `set-variable' should allow modifying any variable. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
