Firstly, if normal-mode is called interactively, it unconditionally
processes all local variables in the -*- line and the local variables
list _except_ that it ignores a mode in the -*- line if
enable-local-variables is nil. I guess that this exception is
unintentional. If so, it is easy to fix.
I think that is a bug--please do fix it.
Secondly, if I set enable-local-variables to 'ask and visit a file
with a mode in the -*- line, and then answer twice no to the questions
asking me whether I want to process local variables, then indeed no
local variables are processed, _except_ for the mode in the -*- line.
Is this intentional?
Yes. Calling a mode function is not dangerous.
(The mode is not the same thing as a local variable.)
Why does it ask two questions instead of one?
