bug#16737: Autoloading `safe-local-variable' properties

[Stefan Monnier]

Why do we have things like:

   ;;;###autoload(put 'c-backslash-column 'safe-local-variable 'integerp)

instead of just

   (put 'c-backslash-column 'safe-local-variable 'integerp)

?  I mean, shouldn't CC-mode always be loaded by the time we check the
safety of such setting, since the major mode should be set before we set
file-local variables (since otherwise, when we later enable the major
mode, it would re-set the file-local settings).
