There's no such thing.  You might like to M-x report-emacs-bug the
feature request, but please describe more precisely what it should look
like (e.g. I could imagine a special file-local setting which says "use
the settings from dir-locals file <foo>", but I'm not sure if having to
add a file-local setting is good enough for you).
