Oh, come on, that is mathematician speak, working with parens. Just
say:
Non-nil if after setting the VARIABLE in buffer BUFFER it will be
local, either because it is already so, or because it is automatic
buffer-local (see `make-variable-buffer-local').
However, can anybody tell me what the point of the BUFFER argument is?
It makes it hard to find out whether a variable that might already
have a local binding is automatic buffer-local.
