Why aren't paragraph-s\(tart\|eparate\) buffer local? There doesn't seem
to be any call for having global values for them since so many major
modes (amongst them C Mode, Lisp mode, Texinfo mode) give these variables
mode specific values.
There is certainly a reason for these variables to have global defaults.
The paragraph commands can be used even in Fundamental mode.
We could consider making them automatically local whenever set;
that doesn't require eliminating the global defaults. I am not
sure this is bad, but it isn't obvious to me it is desirable.
I think the right fix for the problem you encountered is to make
c-set-style check that the buffer has an appropriate mode before it
does anything else.
