   No, I mean what was said in the thread I referred to, namely:

   a little ugly, and doesn't work right, since it still prints "indentation
   set up for shell type bash". I'd prefer just a single variable that
   controls what shell flavour a file is.

The problem is not just that it prints that, worse: it is actually
true.

Do C-c C-c.  Answer "a" or whatever to all questions. You now indeed
get switch.  But, look at the indentation.  Then use my mode line. Do
the same thing over.  Does the indentation not look a lot better?

While the solution you describe does not involve eval, it still
involves a hook local variable.
