That is, they need to have an awareness of programming Lisp.

As I wrote, calling them “local variables” does not say to me that they are
buffer-local, because there exist at least three distinct types of local
variables in the editor--four if you conceive of lexical-let as different
from let. 

It’s only the phrase “it automatically makes these variables local to the
buffer” (and two more like it, later in the same section) that makes the
buffer-local aspect evident.
