I have done this of course, but it didn't seem to do anything.  When I
closed emacs and then restarted (I use the .emacs.desktop file to save
state), all of the same visited files resulted in the same question.
Since I keep many dozens of open files at a time, this means hitting
"!" several dozen times each time I start emacs.  Even if this were
working correctly (which custom file should it be creating?), I fear
that the overhead of parsing this each time I visit a buffer would lead
to high overhead.

Anyway, there is never a need to query about this "typedefs" local
variable.  It is always safe, regardless of its value.
