Yes, good point.

It was always a defvar instead of a defcustom. I don't think it makes
sense for it to be user-customizable.

Is this patch complete? By the time dir-locals-read-from-file is
called, hack-dir-local-variables has already decided that there is no
cached value. Conversely, if there is a cached value, it will be used
without calling dir-locals-read-from-file. So we need to change
dir-locals-find-file as well (which is what my patch did).
