I recently wrote a function that does the former, if I understand the entry correctly. No, it is a misunderstanding. A local variables list is text at the end of the file. I don't see much relationship between this command and that TODO item, but it might make a useful C-h command. It would need some adaptation to be fully coherent with the rest of the C-h commands, and we'd need legal papers for it of course.
