This is not a user-friendly method, IMNSHO. Customizing
major-mode-remap-alist requires too much knowledge of Lisp. How hard
is it to imagine someone who puts wrongly-formatted elements into the
alist, like sub-lists instead of cons cells?
If the user just wants to tell Emacs: I want to use foo-ts-mode
instead of foo-mode for language foo, there must be an easier way,
like flipping some simple switch.
So customizing major-mode-remap-alist is _a_ way to express this kind
of preferences, but IMO we should be able to do better.
In another discussion, I proposed to have simpler user option(s) that
would allow users to express this preference, such that, say,
auto-mode-alist would activate this or that mode given such a
variable. I hope something like that will be possible in some future
release.
