Hi there,

The dired-x manual gives an example in using local variables for dired
buffers. However, the variable dired-actual-switches has not been marked
as safe local variable. I think this is an oversight.

,----[ (info "(dired-x)Local Variables") ]
| For example, if the user puts
| 
|      Local Variables:
|      dired-actual-switches: "-lat"
|      dired-omit-mode: t
|      End:
`----

Best wishes,

Leo
