Re: org-mode and mode hooks.

[Luc Teirlinck]

   I received many long messages yesterday about this issue.
   What conclusions were reached from them?

If you do not consider the remaining problems, described in my
previous message, to be a real problem, then I believe that there are
not many conclusions left to be reached.

I personally believe that instead of the current problematic
implementation of a nil argument for MODE, it would have been a lot
better to implement inheritance of keywords from other major modes by
letting major modes specify a list of major modes from which they want
to inherit.  That _would_ solve all remaining problems.  It could also
be used for major modes that are only used as substitutes for
recursive edits, which are usually _not_ derived modes.  Why should,
for instance, switching to an editable version of a normally read-only
mode get rid of all fontification?  However, implementing this would
require more extensive changes to Font Lock than my patches.

Sincerely,

Luc.
