That takes care of most the house keeping, and you'll only need to add what you actually want. Maybe you should look at more recent and smaller modes than lisp-mode to learn. Look around in the Emacs Wiki.
Thank you. It seems then that the issue is that some modes predate the existence of the derived-mode API. New modes should use though, right?
I will check the wiki out for new modes, thanks! :)
