There was also discussion about whether to allow some variables to be
set before calling the mode function, and not afterwards.  Major modes
clear local variables, so they have to be set afterwards.  But some
major modes behave differently based on variable settings, so they
should be set first sometimes.

Being able to specify that would also be nice.
