Or just O<enter>. It would display the values of most typically
changed variables, and their possible values (because autocall has 3),

I once thought of adding

_ip.options._doc['autocall'] = "Determines blah blah, possible values blah blah"

string to most used options, and provide some plumbing in ipstruct to
provide help for them if needed. We could then harvest all the
documented options and display their values... perhaps even give them
some "priority" to separate essential from trivial.
