Proposal: allow a third argument for make-local-variable.
(make-local-variable VARIABLE &optional locus)
Make VARIABLE have a separate value in the given locus (defaulting to
the current buffer).
A locus can be a buffer, a frame, a terminal, a window. When there is
more than one locus for which a variable may be local, the value is used
from the first locus in the list window - buffer - frame - terminal.
(local-variable-p VARIABLE &optional LOCUS)
Non-nil if VARIABLE has a local binding in locus LOCUS (see make-variable).
BUFFER defaults to the current buffer.
variable-binding-locus is a built-in function in `C source code'.
(variable-binding-locus VARIABLE)
Return a value indicating where VARIABLE's current binding comes from.
If the current binding is buffer-local, the value is the current buffer.
If the current binding is frame-local, the value is the selected frame.
If the current binding is global (the default), the value is nil.
Bing. A simple API, easy to understand, easy to use.
