(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately have not received
any responses yet.)
I don't think there's any way to do what you want. (Somebody correct me
if I'm wrong.) And I don't really see how an interface that does this
would work, really. Something like
(with-everything-interactive-if-this-is-interactive
(adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode)
(window-margin-mode))
Well, in this case that would be a pretty trivial macro to write, but I
don't see this as being generally useful. So I'm closing this as a
"wontfix".
