;;; Commentary:

;; Emacs allows you to specify local variable values for use when
;; editing a file either in the first line or in a local variables
;; list.
;;
;; This file provides similar functionality, but for an entire
;; directory tree.
;;
;; You simply place an .emacs-dirvars file in the root of your
;; project's tree, and you can then set emacs variables like you would
;; in a Local Variables: section at the end of a file.  E.g. the
;; contents of a typical dirvars file might look like this:
;;
;;    ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*-
;;    ;;
;;    ;; This file is processed by the dirvars emacs package.  Each variable
;;    ;; setting below is performed when this dirvars file is loaded.
;;    ;;
;;    indent-tabs-mode: nil
;;    tab-width: 8
;;    show-trailing-whitespace: t
;;    indicate-empty-lines: t
;;
;; Much of this code is stolen and modified from the standard Emacs
;; files.el
;;
;; This code refuses to set any symbol that meets any of these
;; criteria (this criteria is stolen from files.el):
;;
;;   - the symbol is in the ignored-local-variables list
;;   - the symbol has the risky-local-variable property.
;;   - the symbol name ends in -hook(s), -function(s), -form(s),
;;     -program, -command, or -predicate.

;;; Todo:

;; Implement the following changes to keep in line with elisp coding
;; conventions: When a package provides a modification of ordinary
;; Emacs behavior, it is good to include a command to enable and
;; disable the feature, Provide a command named `WHATEVER-mode' which
;; turns the feature on or off, and make it autoload (*note
;; Autoload::).  Design the package so that simply loading it has no
;; visible effect--that should not enable the feature.(2) Users will
;; request the feature by invoking the command.
;;
;; Support customize?
