Right, adding local variables to the first line is necessary too.
This requires designing a good UI for that.  One idea is after
executing `M-x add-file-local-variable RET' ask a question like:

  Add variable to the beginning or end of buffer (yes or no)

which obviously always implies "yes".  The problem that the prompt should
mention both alternatives, but yes-or-no-p accepts only "y" or "n".
Using `map-y-or-n-p' to accept other keys will complicate the prompt.
Do you have any better idea?
