A mechanism like this would make many things easier.

While ASDF can do this trivially, in order for vendor support to be nice for everyone involved, a two things need to be addressed:

1. Should *FEATURES* identify support for this? Maybe :FILE-LOCAL-VARIABLES?

2. What package does MAKE-VARIABLE-FILE-LOCAL reside in? I have a controversial suggestion. COMMON-LISP-EXTENSIONS, aka CL-EXT. CDR-EXT or CDR-11 are less controversial alternatives.
