Actually to followup to myself. After having done the research I
should have done in the first place, I found out that Magicpoint comes
with a file named mgp-mode.el which is also a Magicpoint mode.

It has more features than my barebones mgp-mode, e.g. it has keyword
completion, tempo.el-style code insertions and (that one is cute) can
jump to arbitrary pages of your presentation.

However, it is fairly old, has been subject to some bit rot
(e.g. fontification is done with hilit19, etc.) and it states that it
is based on Emacs 19.28.

I'll try to contact the original author and ask him if we could merge
the two modes.
