I think it would be worthwhile to make it work for the particular case
where it's not that hard, i.e. when the setting applies to all modes.

You can't specify coding via dir-locals.

I've thought about it a few times, but it seems hard to make it work.

Specifying the coding system in a .dir-locals.el doesn't seem to have
the same effect as when adding a file local variable.  E.g.
I have this in .dir-locals.el:

  ((lisp-mode
    (coding . us-ascii-unix)))

and when opening a lisp file, C-h v buffer-file-coding-system shows
this:

  buffer-file-coding-system is a variable defined in `C source code'.
  Its value is undecided-unix

If I use a file local variable instead ;; -*- coding: us-ascii-unix -*-
C-h v buffer-file-coding-system shows this:

  buffer-file-coding-system is a variable defined in `C source code'.
  Its value is us-ascii-unix

This is the first time ever that I wanted to use directory local
variables.  So maybe I did something wrong.
