I see permanent-local is mentioned in kill-all-local-variables but I don't
know to go to that documentation. I generally use describe-function
and describe-variable inside emacs and rarely go to the elisp manual
although I was using it for help with advice the past few days.
I view the elisp manual as a "book" and go there to read up on entire
topics but if I *think* I know what I'm doing, I don't use it. Perhaps I
need to change that habit.
