24.2.50; Typo in "This variable is safe as a file local..." |

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.

I assumed so and fixed this.
I close this bug.
