Support various types of local values

Such as:

• Set initial values of popup arguments based on Git variables magit#2610
• projectile/project: Question: multiple projects with multiple docker-compose files Silex/docker.el#180 (comment)
• Controlling transient values using dir-locals.el #179

Hello,

FYI projectile uses .dir-locals.el, so something that works with it sounds logical.

Maybe I'm stupid but isn't this as simple as putting the content of transient-values into that file? So when it loads it sets transient-values and we are good to go?

The only drawback is that you can only transient-save one global set of values and if you want to modify this project values you have to edit .dir-lcoals.el manually.

I was able to set the docker-compose directory with a .dir-locals file by:

• Running the transient command and setting the flags as I wish them to be
• C-x s to set (but not save) the values
• C-g to exit the transient window
• C-h v transient-values to extract the values set in the previous steps

My resultant .dir-locals looks like this:

((nil . ((transient-values
          . ((docker-compose "--project-directory ~/code/work/repo/"))))))

I hope that's helpful!
