All little tweaks to Emacs functionality which "everybody is bound to want" end up irritating people immensely, so they are all disabled by default - at least when new, including several I have written myself. Even Font Lock was disabled by default up until (I believe) Emacs 22. People who want this new mode will find it and enable it. I can't remember any arguments you may have made as to why this mode should be singled out for special treatment, but I can't see any compelling reason for its default enablement. Anyway, it's for Eli to decide, not me. > Thanks in advance, > João -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
