I know. I don't think that precludes having tree-sitter be a minor
mode. The major mode command could set some variables that are used
only when tree-sitter is off, and other variables that are used only
when tree-sitter is on.

It sounds like you consider the current design as a _temporary_
expedient. If that's what it is, maybe writing this first was a good
idea.
I'm talking about how the code should work after there is time to take
stock and clean it up.
