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,
