A variable can be let-bound (@pxref{Local Variables}) to a
non-default value; in that case, @code{default-value} will return the
value from that binding, not the global value, and @code{set-default}
will be prevented from setting the global value. The following two
functions allow to reference the global value even if it's masked by a
let-binding.
A variable can be let-bound (@pxref{Local Variables}) to a value.

@code{default-value} will then return the value from that binding, not
the global value, and @code{set-default} will be prevented from
setting the global value (it will change the let-bound value instead).
