Instead of deleting the text, let's correct it. And add useful
information about when the options are kept. Please check if this
actually works this way (I'm too lazy :-).
Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global
value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the
global value. Note that if you do this next: >
:e one
You will get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited "one".
The options local to a window are remembered for each buffer. This also
happens when the buffer is not loaded, but they are lost when the buffer is
wiped out |:bwipe|.
