G. Buffer-Local Variables
The table below lists the general-purpose Emacs variables that
automatically become buffer-local in each buffer. Most become
buffer-local only when set; a few of them are always local in every
buffer. Many Lisp packages define such variables for their internal
use, but we don't try to list them all here.
