I don't like eval blocks because then I have to decide whether to eval
it when I load the file.  (Evalling automatically is asking for
disaster!)

I'd prefer an approach that attached the attribute to the file but
didn't require an eval: execution (e.g., like setting the tab-width--
all you need to do is set the variable).
