I believe it is a mistake to try to find a generic solution for a
problem that affects one single function, just because it is
theoretically possible that at some point in the future there might be
a second example.  Especially since we might not really want to
encourage the creation of other examples, unless really needed.
`enriched-mode' is kind of peculiar in that it is a minor mode that
really needs to be a kind of second major mode.  Actually, an
alternative to my patches would be to make it a major mode.  But that
would take away the present feature that it can be combined with other
major modes.
