+* Some remarks and comments
+** setq vs setq-default
+   Some variables are buffer-local, others are not; for non buffer-local variables the two commands are
+   equivalent; for the buffer-local variables, setq acts on the current buffer, whereas setq-default sets the
+   default value of the variable for buffers that do not have a local value.
