The behavior of `hack-local-variables' has recently been changed.
(hack-local-variables t) used to check, until recently, whether a mode
was specified in the -*- line. In current CVS, it checks whether a
mode is specified in the -*- line _or_ in the local variables list.
This incompatible change was made without updating the Elisp manual or
mention in the NEWS. The patch below updates the Elisp manual. I can
install if desired.
Since this is an incompatible change, should it also be mentioned in
the NEWS?

I don't see any recent change. What change do you mean?
The patch below updates the Elisp manual. I can
install if desired.
Please do.

I think mentioning such minor details would only add clutter; it would
get in the way of reading the changes people want to know about.
So please don't.

Somehow it seems non-trivial to figure out what caused the change.
The change does not appear to be mentioned in the ChangeLogs.
But (hack-local-variables-t) not only did not check the local
variables list for a mode in 21.3, it also did not when I checked
lispref/variables. I somehow forgot that this was in November 2003.
So the change may not have been that recent after all (but definitely
new in 22.1 and post November 2003).
Sincerely,
Luc.
