Partly because, AIUI, having ‘eval’ in the file's local variables is a
security hole, and is often disabled.

I'd expect to be able to set the shell variant similar to the way that
I can set the SQL dialect::
# Local variables:
# coding: utf-8
# mode: sql
# sql-product: postgres
# End:
So, for example::
# Local variables:
# coding: utf-8
# mode: sh
# shell-variant: bash
# End:
would be a good interface for this feature, IMO.
