## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} dump_prefs (@var{fid})
## Dump all of the current user preference variables in a format that can be
## parsed by Octave later.  @var{fid} is a file descriptor as returned by
## @code{fopen}.  If @var{file} is omitted, the listing is printed to stdout.

  ## FIXME: It would be nice to be able to get the list of
  ## built-in variables directly from Octave so that we wouldn't have to
  ## remember to update it each time the list of preference variables
  ## changes

  ## Note that these are no longer variables.
