How about:

;; Setting `local' to t ensures that the var will be modified with `set'
;; whereas a setting of nil implies that the hook will be modified with
;; `set-default', so the safe setting is t.  The only case where we
;; want to use the unsafe setting of nil is when we indeed want to change
;; the global part of the hook and there is both a local and a global part
;; (i.e when local == nil and when there's a t in the hook's content).
