I'd prefer a way where it is possible to define explicitely if the
mode should be turned on or off.  One way could be to let people add a
second value to the "mode:" keyword, e.g. "mode: some-mode 1" for
turning a mode on.  Another possibility could be to recognize mode
variables and call the respective mode functions with the given values
if they are encountered.  The latter solution is probably a bit
problematic because people don't expect a function to be called when a
variable is set.
