And `C-u C-u C-u M-x set-variable'
is used to set the buffer-local value of any variable...
1/2 :-)
I would rather reserve C-u M-x set-variable for set any
variable, and make a new command
M-x set-variable-buffer-local
to set the buffer local value. It would also have a C-u prefix to
allow setting any variable.
However, if we _don't_ change this, I think it would make a lot
of sense if C-u M-x set-variable changed to prompt from
"Set variable" to "Set variable in <buffer>".
