Really?
If you check out the help for `define-derived-mode', it
says:
(define-derived-mode CHILD PARENT NAME &optional
DOCSTRING &rest BODY)
and
NAME - a string which will appear in the status line
(e.g. "Hypertext")
So when you invoke the mode (with `M-x CHILD', as CHILD
is "the name of the command for the derived mode"),
won't it produce an error because in general it doesn't
make sense, and in particular, '(("EA"
. font-lock-warning-face)) is not a string?
At least this is what happens to me on GNU Emacs 24.3.
Compare:
(define-derived-mode msdbg-mode fundamental-mode
(setq font-lock-keywords '(("EA" . font-lock-warning-face))))
(msdbg-mode)
(message mode-name) ;; (wrong-type-argument stringp ...
(define-derived-mode msdbg-mode fundamental-mode
"MS Debug")
(msdbg-mode)
(message mode-name) ;; "MS Debug"
