Had I attended to this sooner there would have been time to come up with something better for existing users. The reason for setting it to `never' rather than `ask' is because I felt it was worse to harass unsophisticated users with questions each time they visited a file than to temporarily deny users the patterns they already have in files. Unsophisticated users don't usually put local variable bindings in their files. And if they put in local variable bindings for Hi Lock mode, I think that proves they are sophisticated. So I think we should make the default `ask' for now.
