What are "buffer-local functions"?  I'm not aware of such a feature in
Emacs.  The documentation of add-hook doesn't mention any
"buffer-local functions".

The node "Windows Hooks" uses the phrase "Functions specified
buffer-locally", after it explains that hooks can have buffer-local or
global values.  I see no problem with that.
