I was unaware of the variable `enable-character-translation'. It's documented nowhere. Since such a variable really exists, I think its name is ideal both for the local variables section and the first line. For cases when its name is too long to fit to the first line, IIUC there are already an alternative syntax with the trailing !, you just installed, for those who want to use terse syntax. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
