But at the same time other people might still want to have their own dir-locals settings for whatever reason. I didn't find a way to merge (overriding) some directory-local variables with some other directory-local variables. Is that possible and how? -- GNU Emacs 24.0.50.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-04-22 on plaetekopp
