Yes, clearly it should use similar terminology to the one used for
file variables. So if it's not "directory variables" then we'd need to
change the "file variables" as well.

PS: it now occurs to me that the name ".dir-locals.el" is redundant.
It could just say ".locals.el" or ".local-variables.el" since it's
placed in a directory. Just like file variables are enclosed in
a "Local Variables" section rather than a "File Local
Variables" section.
