This buffer-local variable holds the alist of directory-local variable
settings. Each element of the alist is of the form @w{@code{(@var{var}
. @var{value})}}, where @var{var} is a symbol of the local variable and
@var{value} is its value (this is the same structure as that of
@code{file-local-variables-alist}, @pxref{File Local Variables}). When
Emacs visits a file, it collects all the directory-local variables into
this alist, and then the @code{hack-local-variables} function applies
them one by one (again, @pxref{File Local Variables}).
