I'd like to have them in "guix-devel.el", but I don't see the reason for duplicating. I think they either should be placed in "guix-devel.el" (surely the right thing for me :-)) or stay in ".dir-locals.el" (I'm afraid the right thing for the most :-(). Why do you suggest the duplication? -- Ceterum censeo +Carthaginem+ ".dir-locals.el" esse delendam
