    - what should (setq var val) do?
      currently is magically uses either the global or the current-buffer
      locus depending on whether the variable is already buffer-local.
      but if it's buffer-local and frame-local, which setting should
      be changed?

    - how does it interact with make-variable-buffer-local?
      I.e. if a variable is just window-local and you do (setq var val), is
      it going to be made buffer-local?

    - what about `let'?  This one is really fun!

All these issues arise already with the current features,
and won't get any worse with the proposed new feature.

ISTR that there is already code in specbind to try to DTRT
for some of these.
