hideshow.el gives several variables the permanent-local property:
hs-minor-mode, hs-c-start-regexp, hs-block-start-regexp
hs-block-start-mdata-select, hs-block-end-regexp, hs-forward-sexp-func
hs-adjust-block-beginning
I don't understand why this is desirable; indeed it leads to at least
one problem.
The reason for giving something a `permanent-local' property is so it
will survive a change in major modes.
I don't know what's going on hideshow, but is there some reason one
might want these settings to survive a change in major mode?
(It does seem unlikely.)
