But NetBeans is NetBeans, and not Emacs.  If someone checks in
.dir-locals.el into a repository, someone reviewing code is sure to
search '.el', and when he finds that '.el' is a file extension for a
programming language named 'Emacs Lisp', whoever checked it in will have
some explaining to do with respect to checking in unapproved code in a
completely foreign language.
