If you type C-c C-e in a just created buffer foo.tex, you see the
following dialogue in the minibuffer:

  Environment type: (default document)
    <user input; after pressing `enter' you see>
  Document class: (default article)
    <user input; after pressing `enter' you see>
  Options:
    ...

So for a file-make-local-variable command we need questions like

  Major mode: (default <the current major mode>)
    ...
  Variable:
    foo...
  Variable foo set to:
    ...

etc.
