Hi Philip,

BTW, this also means that the current mode *has* to end in `-mode`.

In many/most cases it's better to ask the user to write the `-mode`.
Those 5 extra letters may seem like clutter, but they simplify the
"model", so I think it's to the benefit of the end user.

Otherwise you end up with possible confusions like "does `perl` refer
to the name of the language or to the name of the mode?" whose answer
influences how you specify the setup of `cperl-mode` for example.
