578 *** If the local variables list contains any variable-value pairs that
579 are not known to be safe, Emacs shows a prompt asking whether to apply
580 the local variables list as a whole. In earlier versions, a prompt
581 was only issued for variables explicitly marked as risky (for the
582 definition of risky variables, see `risky-local-variable-p').
583
584 At the prompt, the user can choose to save the contents of this local
585 variables list to `safe-local-variable-values'. This new customizable
586 option is a list of variable-value pairs that are known to be safe.
587 Variables can also be marked as safe with the existing
588 `safe-local-variable' property (see `safe-local-variable-p').
589 However, risky variables will not be added to
590 `safe-local-variable-values' in this way.
