Look for words, try to distinguish licensing from commentary, then
somewhere there maybe you find an explanation. It is like entering
dark labyrinth, you never know what is out there, but is
interesting. I am not sure any more, but I remember something like
MONITOR command, I could enter into memory of Commodore plus/4 and for
hours I could watch and browse those hex numbers, and watching on
right side the symbols and letters, figuring out what it all means.

To find out all *-mode(s) you can do this:

M-x find-library RET -mode TAB TAB and you will see them all, it is 
interesting. 

Go one by one carefully, enter inside and read commentaries, until you
get tired, then switch to movie, music, or sleeping, keep doing it,
and after many attempts you will get quite new cognition about it. 

I am still doing it by the way. I have no idea what people talk about on `git 
log' but I keep reading.
