So let me step back a notch and ask: how else can we cause the context
menus to be automatically populated in a given buffer, once
context-menu-mode is turned on? It must be some buffer-local feature,
because different buffers should in principle show different context
menus. That's why I thought about modes -- those are always
buffer-local, and mode initialization code runs in every buffer where
the mode is turned on, so we have a place to produce the context
menus.
If you want to have context menus populated regardless of the modes,
what other buffer-specific mechanism can we employ? IOW, what would
be the trigger for populating the context menus? It cannot be the
user, because that makes no sense to me: the user already told us
he/she wants those menus when he/she turned on the context-menu-mode.
