I think it would be good to be able to add items to variables that hold
lists in `.dir-locals.el'. Maybe with the special form `(append
VARIABLE . ITEMS))'? Considering `auto-mode-alist' has its own special
form, I think the need for this already exists.

While not exactly what you want, you can add a lisp expression and have
it evaluated to the same effect. But yes, a proper feature would be
nice to have.

Yes, I think that would be handy.

Isn't (eval . (add-to-list 'VARIABLE ITEMS)) already short enough?

AFAIK this won't check if VARIABLE is safe and the modification isn't
local.
