That's not a mode-specific command, so tagging it as such would be an
error...

Multi-language buffers are an interesting problem, though.  But...  they
work by switching `major-mode' around, don't they?  In which case,
things should pretty much work automatically.  (I'm thinking of
mhtml-mode.)

I'm trying to think of cases where this would be a problem, but I'm
having problems coming up with an example.
