I've excluded minor modes from completion intentionally because the manual
says in (info "(emacs) Specifying File Variables"):
You can use the `mode' "variable" to set minor modes as well as the
major modes; in fact, you can use it more than once, first to set the
major mode and then to set minor modes which are specific to particular
buffers. But most minor modes should not be specified in the file at
all, because they represent user preferences.
I'm not sure about a list of minor modes that represent user preferences.
Where can I see a complete list of their names? Since this is too vague,
perhaps we should include minor modes to the completion of 'mode'.
