To be more precise, I believe define-major-mode's arguments should
include name (required), docstring (optional), :group, syntax-table
(optional or keyword), abbrev-table (optional or keyword), some
keyword inhibiting automatic inclusion of \\{...} in the docstring,and
maybe :keymap and :mode-class keywords. The abbrev-table argument
should accept a value requesting no abbrev-table. This is important
for several modes. If define-derived-mode were redefined like that,
it seems to me that it would be more logical to rename it
define-major-mode and define define-derived-mode as a special case of
it with an extra argument of parent and several keywords pre-plugged in.
Sincerely,
Luc.
