I will try that as workaround, but don't regard that as a proper
solution to the problem.
Well, if you don't consider that a proper solution, then there isn't
one at present. A "permanent-local" is intended be local to the
buffer. However, non-permanent locals are often used as an
approximation to "mode local" variables, and thus get killed by
`kill-all-local-variables' when modes are switched.
Note that my request for a local variable is also not a perfect
solution, but by minimizing the list of active regexps it can help to
reduce the risk of regexp-shadowing.
I've thought about adding a mode locale to the specifier
implementation. That might be the best way to handle this. I'm not
real happy with the idea of mode-local variables; GNU already has
frame-locals as well as buffer-locals, and this is altogether too
magic and uncontrollable for my taste. Specifiers are more explicitly
controllable.
