What would be the recommended way to enable the *-ts-mode for a certain
language?
Adding a hook to a major-mode to enable another major-mode seems a bit
backward. This is what i did first, now i added entries to auto-mode-alist.
It would be nice to have an customization variable that controls which
major-modes are replaced.
For more user feedback, it would be beneficial to have an easy way to
enable and try tree-sitter.
