I noticed a couple of checkdoc.el variables which could have safe-local-variable settings. I struck checkdoc-arguments-in-order-flag and checkdoc-symbol-words in bongo.el. The checkdoc-symbol-words docstring invites you to set it as a local variable, so it in particular ought to have something for what's safe. 2009-07-30 Kevin Ryde * emacs-lisp/checkdoc.el (checkdoc-force-history-flag, checkdoc-arguments-in-order-flag): Add safe-local-variable booleanp. (checkdoc-symbol-words): Add safe-local-variable for list of strings, clarify docstring that the value is strings not symbols.
