I am nobody, but FWIW, I'm in favor of using "treesit" instead of "ts" in
the mode names. Even if tree sitter had a higher profile than typescript
(NB: typescript's is in fact much higher, and this is unlikely to change no
matter how much adoption tree sitter sees), the unambiguous naming scheme
is preferable. Does anyone really mind the five additional characters?
