I didn't want to change the old code in case someone was relying on
it.  It still works as it used to.

The new interface is what makes it work in an incremental way.  I
chose to implement it as minor modes because that seemed easy and
conventional.

If you'd rather I implement it in some other way, let me know how, and
I will make the changes.
