   I don't see why the word ``buffer'' needs to be doubled.  The
   following reads better and is shorter:

      Non-nil if VARIABLE will be local in BUFFER when set there.

BUFFER _must_ be a buffer however.  (In similar functions you can
often also use a buffer name.  Not here.)

Sincerely,

Luc.
