Subject: custom-mode should not be interactive
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 01:33:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d4qnw5ub.fsf@freemail.hu> (raw)

I noticed that custom-mode is an interactive function now.  I think it
shouldn't be, for two reasons:

1. It doesn't do anything useful when called interactively.
2. It hinders tab completion, making M-x customize-variable etc more
   difficult to type.

I'm not sure how to fix it though, as custom-mode is defined through
define-derived-mode, which always makes the mode function interactive.
One way is to define a new keyword argument for define-derived-mode.
What do you think?

Magnus
