That is, they need to have an awareness of programming Lisp.
That statement is misleading because it would imply a level of
knowledge far beyond what these people really need to know. All they
need to know is how to write the values they want to use.
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.
That is a valid point. However,
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.
since that phrase is just two lines later, I think the point is clear
enough now.
