Yes, exactly -- people have to resort to using `eval' (which is
something people should use as little as possible) because our syntax
doesn't allow for simple things like adding values to a list.
Post-mode variables and list concatenation are two things we'd like to
have, but I'm sure there's a whole bunch of stuff people will come up
with if the syntax allowed for (safe) extensions.
I don't know what the new syntax would look like -- the current syntax
is, er, very implementation-friendly and user-hostile. I.e., it's easy
for Emacs to parse, and difficult for people to write:
((nil . ((tab-width . 8)
(sentence-end-double-space . t)
(fill-column . 70)
(emacs-lisp-docstring-fill-column . 65)
(vc-git-annotate-switches . "-w")
(bug-reference-url-format . "https://debbugs.gnu.org/%s")
(diff-add-log-use-relative-names . t)))
(c-mode . ((c-file-style . "GNU")
(c-noise-macro-names . ("INLINE" "ATTRIBUTE_NO_SANITIZE_UNDEFINED"
"UNINIT" "CALLBACK" "ALIGN_STACK"))
(electric-quote-comment . nil)
(electric-quote-string . nil)
(indent-tabs-mode . t)
(mode . bug-reference-prog))))
Perhaps a more imperative style would be nice. Err... something
like...
(in-mode c-mode
(set c-file-style "GNU")
(set-early treesit-thing t)
(add-to-list odd-list 3)
(minor-mode indent-tabs-mode)
(minor-mode blink-parentheses-mode))
`safep' would have to be a bit adjusted -- a `safep' for `odd-list'
would be (cl-every #'oddp) etc.
And we'd make the parser backwards/forwards compatible -- i.e., elements
that are unknown to the Emacs version running would just be ignored.
