For instance, in programming language modes, I suspect it's increasingly common to have autofill, abbrev, -- perhaps company etc turned on; would be nice if a user could: 1. Define a "logical bundle of minor modes " that are specific to various tasks, and then have a modeline indicater for that "bundle" defined -- so the Modeline would indicate "prog" for the user to know and remember that a preferred set of programming affordances are turned on.
