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.
Or you can invest those extra characters in making it more like
Miles's version:
Non-nil if VARIABLE will be buffer-local in BUFFER when set there.
