I don't like having this 3000 hard-coded everywhere, so making
a variable makes sense.
But encouraging large "Local Variables" blocks is a bad idea, IMO, so
I'd keep it at 3000 and I wouldn't care to document the var either.
I'd even be happy with a "--" in its name.

Of course, you can use a short
eval: (progn (re-search-backward "^(progn ;;local-config") (eval (read
(current-buffer))))
and then put an arbitrarily long Elisp chunk anywhere else in the buffer
with a leading `(progn ;;local-config`.
