Sure - I won't argue with this.  Though I've seen that many editors
support this automatic installing.  I'm not sure if that will be a
barrier or not, but surely if it is, someone will fill that gap.

Did you get to look at the patch I sent? Should these efforts, when
their form is discovered be applied to this branch going forward? Or
should we wait until it lands on master?  I can look into more modes,
like css and others, but I'm a little wary of touching C, as they have a
lot of lineage and opinions and isn't my expertise.

Also I'm sure that bugs will be found when it is used, so I'm in favour
of applying the modes to this branch, if only to discover how best to
use tree sitter.
