Hi Lars,

Thanks for looking into this. Yes after reading through the code of this 
my opinion is that it would be better scrapped and rewritten from 
scratch. (For me the patch did not fix the option persisting after 
restarting Emacs.)

I've managed to resolve my problem via the console itself so I'd rather 
not touch it, but might be worthwhile keeping the issue open if anyone 
else requires the mode/variable.
