It's clearly not smart enough though, and fails in some cases.

I don't see how you could design a heuristic that won't fail, so better
than emacs-lisp-mode silently trying to fix this in a "smart" way (that
leads to some surprising results) is to force the user to be explicit
about her expectations.  That's a step forward, IMO.
