   So there you are, reading along in some file that you found.
   Just browsing away, when what happens, but some magic bit of
   Local variables:
   find-file-hooks: ((lambda ()
   ...

probably common knowledge but...  it won't work if you have:

  (setq inhibit-local-variables t)

in your .emacs.

Problem is, only people who have finally gotten into elisp will know this.

Only the beginners will be hurt.
