Whatever we do to automate this, I don't think we will ever cover every possible hook that people would like to "accept by default". So I still propose that we provide a *simple* customization option safe-local-eval-forms which is just a list that contains verbatim copies of the eval hooks which the user considers as safe. We could then enhance the functionality when the user is asked to "eval local hook (y/n)" to "eval local hook (y/n/s)" where "s" saves the hook in safe-local-eval-forms. But just having the option would be great!
