Wait wait wait! eval blocks are very very inconvenient when sharing
files because you'd be insane to have `enable-local-eval' set to
t... it's a virus waiting to happen. And always being asked about
evalling the block is unnecessarily tedious. Let's extend [X]Emacs with
a variable that gets used to set the style after a file is loading so it
does not need to be an eval block at the end of the file.
Thanks,
