    "anyone", I would hope :).  Perhaps I was mistaken.  I thought
    these incantations were constrained to setting buffer local
    variable values.

Yes, but there are variables whose values can get evaluated by Emacs
commands.  That's the motive for this feature: to make sure those
variables don't get set by some file to a malicious value.
