** Add a command to make a local variables list in the current buffer
and/or add a variable to the list.
I recently wrote a function that does the former, if I understand the
entry correctly. It shows an apropos-style listing of the current
buffer's local variables.
I've cleaned up the function and included it in the attached file,
`show-buffer.el'. If you think it may be a useful addition to
Emacs, I'd be happy to contribute it. I'm also open to suggestions
for improving it.
On a related topic, I think `apropos.el' ought to be rewritten
with an eye towards reusability. I've got several other packages
underway that provide apropos-like commands. It would be nice to
reuse `apropos-print' to display the results, for a consistent
user experience. But both `apropos' and `apropos-print' are rather
monolithic, so I'm forced to copy and paste a lot of the code.
I will gladly volunteer for refactoring `apropos.el', if you think
it would be worthwhile.
