I want to do it with lisp.  Have made this interactive function to
set up the company-backends, but instead of applying the changes 
locally, I want to apply them globally.

(defun companiol-backends-kntlr (actm-seqr)

  (interactive
    (let* ( (cseq '("company-dabbrev"
                    "company-dabbrev-code"
                    "company-keywords"
                    "company-capf"
                    "company-yasnippet"
                    "company-files"))

            (backends-seltr
                (completing-read-multiple "Backends: " cseq nil t)))

      (list (mapcar #'intern backends-seltr))))

    (setq company-backends actm-seqr)

    ;; Refresh company-mode to apply the changes
    (when (bound-and-true-p company-mode)
      (company-mode -1) (company-mode 1)) )
