bad idea.
what if the manual does not describe this variable
and the user hits on a mutt binary which includes it?

a better way is that of vim which includes the info
that the option/variable is only available when
some code is in binary as indicated by "+feature"
in the outut of the ":version" command.

something similar for mutt would be most welcome.
