defvar-local is buffer-local variable.  I would think that I could use defvar as
the setting rather than a buffer-local variable, as the value would be the same for
all elisp files.

Have also tried doing the same for texinfo files.  Though outline-miner-mode is not
taking effect.

(add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook #'outline-minor-mode)
