It is right to do so. Still, working with emacs code needs to be natural,
with generic names always meaning the built-in default mode. The rest
with precise names to know what one is using. This should be a minor thing,
but is discussed as a major problem. There is a similar problem with Latex-like
modes --- there is too much confusion on what is being actually used. Regardless
of the name of the mode, emacs then opts for some other thing instead. This
problem has been there for a few years now.
