Please don't get confused. Use global auxiliary variables for things
that reflect buffer independent states. And you can always get the
buffer local binding of a variable foo in any buffer b with
(with-current-buffer b foo)
There is no limitation from the Emacs' side.
Mmh, ok, let's start from the beginning and simple. Let's add some
mechanism that allows to specify additional, directory local hi-lock
patterns. That should be simple as this:
(defvar hi-lock-dir-patterns nil) ;; use as dir local variable
(advice-add
'hi-lock-find-patterns :after
(lambda (&rest _)
(hi-lock-set-file-patterns
(append hi-lock-file-patterns
hi-lock-dir-patterns))))
The advice just merges in the additional patterns. Note that using
directory local variables has the advantage that me must not explicitly
look up the patterns, because the directory local variable is
automatically bound when the file is opened.
This should be all to do as long as you don't want to automatically save
additional patterns - you have to add them yourself in the .dir-locals
file.
If you want such automatic saving, we would just have to substitute the
dir local variable with a mechanism that loads and saves explicitly. Is
this what you want?
Regards,
Michael.
