Hi Ilya,
Not sure if this will help, but in current emacs 24, there is note in
the NEWS file about a new mode called prog-mode, which is supposed to be
a parent mode for programming modes. I believe the supplied prog modes
in emacs have/are being updated to be derived from this mode.
The main role of this mode appears to be to run the hook prog-mode-hook.
Maybe this could be useful?
Tim
