The more Ludd^H^H^Hcautious among us run with(setq enable-local-variables nil)
and would rather not see the configuration recommendations overcomplicated
due to an attempt to play nice with directory-local settings we're ignoring
anyway. So I'd vote for Peter's first option, ie, kluge up .dir-locals.el
not the configuration code.
