745    ** The variable `safe-local-eval-forms' specifies a list of forms that
746    are ok to evaluate when they appear in an `eval' local variables
747    specification.  Normally Emacs asks for confirmation before evaluating
748    such a form, but if the form appears in this list, no confirmation is
749    needed.
750    
751    ** If a function has a non-nil `safe-local-eval-function' property,
752    that means it is ok to evaluate some calls to that function when it
753    appears in an `eval' local variables specification.  If the property
754    is t, then any form calling that function with constant arguments is
755    ok.  If the property is a function or list of functions, they are called
756    with the form as argument, and if any returns t, the form is ok to call.
757    
758    If the form is not "ok to call", that means Emacs asks for
759    confirmation as before.
