Is it OK to change the name of this var to `magic-default-mode-alist'?
I think `file-start' is a bad choice because it makes the relation to
magic-mode-alist non-obvious, and it incorrectly implies that only the start
of the file is used, even though the match-function might very well use the
end of the file (or any other part, as a matter of fact) instead.

Thanks for this, I hope the problem with for example html/php will be gone now. Please also mention the new list in `set-auto-mode'. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Now those items in magic-mode-alist that should cede priority to auto-mode-alist can be moved to file-start-mode-alist. Would someone please move them there? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
