Because all vars are unsafe by default (i.e. unless someone tells Emacs explicitly that this var is safe). > I find it inconvenient since adding it to a per-file or per-directory > local variable list will (by default) ask users whether they want to > apply the dreaded setting. Arguably this var is more a personal user preference than a property of a file, so maybe the lack of a `safe-local-variable' property is actually a feature ;-0 Stefan
