Maybe, but I think most oftenly that will create name clashes. I think
that using "-mumamo-mode" is a good way to prevent this and also to tell
that it is a multi major modes. (There are still good reasons to tell
that it is a multi major mode. The most difficult thing is support of
minor modes turn on/off and finding reasonable structures for that. Time
will tell I think.)
