Setting inhibit-local-variables non-nil is a pain because when you get
the message "Set local variables as specified at end of ..." you
can't examine the settings to see if there are any trojan horses.
What I end up doing is saying "n", going to the end of the buffer to
check, then typing M-x normal-mode.

It would be nice if Emacs would display the local variables part of
the file while asking this question.
