I've been using emacs for a very long time and there was no such thing as dir-
locals when i start but dirvars.el was a package so I was using it. A while 
back I've seen in the emacs news file something mentioned about that 
functionality but i never cared enough to follow up on account of dirvars 
working ok. 

If .dir-locals.el can replicate what dirvars does, then lets just insert that 
into the repo and remove dirvars.

It's one of the builtins c/c++ styles for emacs, approximating the linux 
kernel style. In this case it's rather wrong, because as far as emacs 
definitions go we're closer to what emacs calls bsd style not linux style but 
you should probably define the style you like and add a short blurb about it. 
Also the variable/method/function naming is starting to get confusing 
(camelCase or under_scores).
