They are buffer-local. Definition of such a variable spans the tree of 
buffers in question. I suppose I could just define them in the root 
buffer, but then I'd also need to use a specialized getter instead of 
the variable itself. The latter definitely seems preferable to me. If 
there's a way to do this with emacs lisp's natural scoping, I'm more 
than happy to learn.
