Yeah, I've found `define-generic-mode' to be very helpful for my own
language modes: it makes font-locking and basic mode definition details
almost trivial, and usually doesn't get in the way of adding additional
functionality.
I think it really deserves more attention than it seems to get
(is d-g-m more or less compatible between Emacs 21 and 22?).
[Now if only there was a similarly easy way to define an indentation
engine... :-]
