Re: .emacs-settings.el

[Robert J. Chassell]

    I'm ok with dir-locals.el or any other name, but in general it should
    not be an .el file, right?  It's just some settings that will not be
    actual Lisp code.  Maybe dir-locals.elp for "emacs lisp properties"?

My understanding is that an Emacs Lisp file is specified to end with
.el

address@hidden says the file in question is in Emacs Lisp, albeit
`not a file of arbitrary Lisp':

    ... it is not a file of arbitrary Lisp, but rather contains a set
    of buffer-local variables to set in the buffers visiting files it
    affects, subject to the normal risk-checking.

My understanding is that when he says `not a file of arbitrary Lisp
... a set of buffer-local variables to set in the buffers visiting
files', he means no defuns.  Only setq's are permitted.

I could easily be wrong.
