bug#12344: 24.2.50; Typo in "This variable is safe as a file local..."


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#12344: 24.2.50; Typo in "This variable is safe as a file local..."
Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2012 17:03:41 -0700

This help text seems to be missing a word or two or three:
 
  This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
  satisfies the predicate which is byte-compiled expression.
 
At least, to me, the last line is incomprehensible.  Should it perhaps
say "which is _a_ byte-compiled expression"?  In that case, why "_the_"
predicate?  What predicate?
 
I really have no idea what this is trying to say about the constraint on
its value, in order for it to be safe.
