It's a relatively small patch (a little over 150 lines) which doesn't disrupt the smooth running of the mode. Any of these other modes could take ideas from this patch, though there is nothing profound or original in it.

How would it fit into CC Mode and those other modes? > Stefan -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
