I don't know how "frame-local bindings for variables" should
be treated in C code.  So I can't tell if there's a bug or
not.

Ideally, I think selecte-frame should change the value of
Vscalable_fonts_allowed when that has frame local binding.
Then, C code can simply refer to this variable to get the
current value.

But, apparently, Fselect_frame and do_switch_frame called
from it does nothing about such variables.  Only via
find_symbol_value, C code gets the current value.

On the other hand, set_buffer_internal_1 surely pays
attention to buffer local variables so that C variables get
the current value.
