This node is a catch-all of options that each have something to do
    with display - from `baud-rate' to `ctl-arrow'. The text runs on, from
    one option to the next. Some option descriptions are several
    paragraphs each. The result is an unorganized grab bag.

I will split out two large parts into separate nodes.
The rest will still be a grab bag, but not as big a one.

    It would be better to try to organize these options somehow, or at
    least make it clearer where each begins and ends. Why isn't the Elisp
    manual format used, for instance: `User Option: foobar' followed by
    its description? That would organize things better.

@defvar did not exist when the Emacs Manual was first written.
The idea of starting to use it there is one we could think about,
but since it would be a big change in the style, we would need to
think seriously before starting.
