Hi,

I'm creating this feature request to track an idea that Stefan brought
up in bug#74404:

Currently, the last minor mode to be defined takes precedence over
previously defined minor modes, at least in terms of keybindings.  This
makes it hard-to-impossible for minor modes that need high precedence to
"guard" their keybindings from minor modes defined at any later time.
An explicit mechanism for specifying minor mode precedence could help.


Best,

Eshel
