 And if I have a local value and want to add to the global value with

(with-temp-buffer (add-to-list 'my-variable 'my-value))

unless the variable is automatically buffer-local. If it is, I think
it would be uncommon to modify the global value (it would be more
logical to just set it up with defvar), but you can always skip the
`add-to-list' and assign to my-variable with setq-default.

Thanks, yes, something like this perhaps

(defun add-to-global-list (list-var element &optional append compare-fn)
  (let ((global-val (default-value list-var)))
    (add-to-list 'global-val element append compare-fn)
    (set-default list-var global-val)))

But I would prefer that add-to-list did it for me.
