That would be really helpful. The most confusing point for some
'non-experts' is to configure things in ".emacs.d/init.el" (Hyphens
because it is not the actual file but the notion of it) vs. I
configure in ".dir-locals.el"

As a result of "some years" using Emacs, I tend to have a config which
is 'valid in most situations' in init.el and only 'special configs for
special purposes' and that's what I show people how to do.

Thx, /PA

Alas, I’m familiar with dir-local variables, so I can’t can tell which specific part is confusing and how to improve it.

I've been asked a couple of times how to convert the .dir-locals.el
example in the manual to a
(setq ...) to be loaded from ~/.emacs.d/init.el
So I guess it would be good to have the same example in both versions
in the manual.

Thanks, /PA
