Hmmm... sorry 'bout that: I was assuming changing it a list of functions,
but indeed it's not necessarily a good idea.
Still: even if it's a simple variable, you shouldn't set it via `setq' but
via font-lock-defaults (which will use make-local-variable for you), so
there's still no justification for make-variable-buffer-local.
