If you have inhibit-local-variables set, hack-local-variables will
ask you if you want to set the local variables in a file being loaded
in. Unfortunately, it won't show you what they are, making the
question something less useful than it could be. The following diff to
the 18.53 files.el will fix this; you can either apply this to your
files.el, or make a copy, apply it to the copy, and extract the
hack-local-variables function & load it in your .emacs (which is what
I do).
