bug#37640: 27.0.50; Emacs manuals inconsistent on .dir-locals-2.el

[Ola Nilsson]

The Emacs manual section `Directory Local Variables' says
regarding the `dir-locals-file' variable:

    This constant is also used to derive the name of a
    second dir-locals file ‘.dir-locals-2.el’.  If this second
    dir-locals file is present, then that is loaded instead of
    ‘.dir-locals.el’.

The `Per-Directory Local Variables' section says:

    You can also use ‘.dir-locals-2.el’; if found, Emacs loads it in
    addition to ‘.dir-locals.el’.

Note `instead' in the first quote and `addition' in the second.

Thanks for that (although I was confused for a while, since those two
nodes are in different manuals). Closing.
