Apologies for forgetting to reply to that part. So the language itself
goes by "p4" or "p4lang" (think go/golang). The _14 and _16 refer to
different diverging versions of the language. P4_14 is officially
abandoned/deprecated (think python 2.7) and P4_16 is the "current
revision of the p4 language" [1].

That being said, I think "p4-16-mode" is clear enough to indicate
which version is being implied and we could/should take the liberty to
change the _ to a -. I am of the opinion that the "16" bit is
necessary as the language itself is evolving. I do not see an issue
with "p4-16-mode".

Thanks
