I've now respun the patch for Emacs 28, and it seems to work fine, and I
think everybody agreed that this was useful functionality.
There was some discussion about whether to introduce a new dir-locals
element for this, or just use the normal variable-setting thing. As Tom
said, the normal thing is awkward to use here (because of the
buffer-local thing), so I think Tom's approach here is the best,
overall.
So I've now pushed this to Emacs 28.
