C-h f make-local-variable RET explains that it doesn't make a function-local
variable (these are created with `let'), but a buffer-local one.
The buffer-local variable so-created will last until the buffer dies or
until kill-all-local-variables is called in this buffer (this is called by
major-mode functions as the first thing to do when setting up a major mode).
