Documentation

If non-nil, allow editing values in *Help* buffers.

To edit the value of a variable, use C-h v (describe-variable) to display a "*Help*" buffer, move point after the text
"Its value is" and type \e.

Values that aren't readable by the Emacs Lisp reader can't be edited even if this option is enabled.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 29.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 29.1.
