This is ambiguous.

What is meant by "quoting" a lambda expression '(lambda ... ) or
#'(lambda ... )?  If you use '(lambda ... ) the expression does not get
compiled, which can be a nuisance if the lambda does any real work.
If you use #'(lambda ... ) then `C-h v' still displays byte code,
so this form of quoting is useless for the stated purpose.

I personally still believe that the best thing to do would just be to
simply remove this annoying safe-local-variable clutter from the `C-h v'
output entirely.

Sincerely,

Luc.
