Re: Risky local variable mechanism

   There is, in my opinion, no need to make this any more convenient
   than that, neither the way you propose it nor the way Stefan
   proposes it.

But, while I do not think that there is a pressing need for it,
Stefan's querying, or additional .emacs customization possibility,
proposal is a lot safer than yours.

I believe that you misunderstood Stefan's proposal.  I believe that
Stefan proposed to allow to use something like:

(put 'myvar 'safe-value-list '(nil t))

So there would be no list of variable-value pairs to maintain, only
lists of values for individual variables.
