Re: define-derived-mode

>From my previous message:

   I am not really sure that it is such a great idea to have
   `define-minor-mode' and `define-generic-mode' spew out all these
   automatic defcustoms, but given that they do that, it seems rather
   strange and inconsistent that `define-derived-mode' does not.

On second thought, I now believe that the above is a bad idea.  It is
an incompatible change.  People may already have hand defined
defcustoms for these modes and making define-derived-mode construct
them automatically would lead to competing defcustoms, which would be
very bad.

Sincerely,

Luc.
