Then it is more fragile in the case of complex documents, but still may 
be viable for simple ones with single example.

I expected that the code looking up for local variables is reasonably shy.

Unfortunately

:   # Local Variables:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
   # org-srs-review-new-items-per-day: 30
   # org-srs-review-max-reviews-per-day: 100
   # End:
#+END_EXAMPLE

Causes a warning as well:
"Local variables list is not properly terminated"

A short answer "C-0 c" or "C-0 w". Maybe I will send a longer one, 
dropping bohonghuang from Cc.

I do not like non-printable characters. E.g. Thunderbird rendered your 
message with confusingly large vertical space in the middle. Outside of 
Emacs, kludges like ";;; org.el ends here" are not common. I would not 
be surprised by some issues on attempt to edit the README.org file on 
the GitHub site directly.
