I did not think about that kind of shadowing. I agree that would also
be nice to have reported. But i think it is a different thing. Also
it could be that the user wants the lower dir-locals file to shadow the
higher one. But i guess no user wants one lisp file to shadow another
in the load-path.
Maybe a separate command could search for dir-local files shadowing
other dir-local files for a given directory or list of directories.
(I could submit such a function.)
I usually run list-load-path-shadows in the same go as compiling my
elisp directory and just like it is nice to have no compiler warnings it
is nice to have no shadow warnings.
Regards,
/Johan
