There is a restriction (see section 53.3.4.1, "Specifying File Variables",
in the emacs manual):
,----
| Instead of using a `-*-' line, you can define file local variables
| using a "local variables list" near the end of the file. The start of

| the end of the file, and must be on the last page if the file is
| divided into pages.
