While keeping text in the Local Variables section in sync with actual
values looks like the right thing to do, it raises related questions
that are more difficult to decide:
Should `M-x add-file-local-variable RET mode RET' also change current mode?
Should `M-x add-file-local-variable RET coding RET' also change the
current buffer coding?
Should `M-x add-file-local-variable RET eval RET' evaluate the added expression?
Should `delete-file-local-variable' return the previous buffer-local value
or revert to the global value?
Should `add-dir-local-variable' after modifying .dir-locals.el
also update values in all visited file buffers in all subdirectories?
