Poking around for a couple of minutes, would the right way to implement
this be to always call `hack-local-variables' in `set-auto-mode' here?

    ;; hack-local-variables checks local-enable-local-variables etc, but
    ;; we might as well be explicit here for the sake of clarity.
    (and (not done)
	 enable-local-variables
	 local-enable-local-variables
	 try-locals
	 (setq mode (hack-local-variables t))

But then filter out all variables except the ones in this new list in
`hack-local-variables-filter' (if `enable-local-variables' is nil)?

The new list could be called...  uhm...
`permanently-enabled-local-variables'?
