    this is not a real bug - rather a suggestion: I would 
    strongly suggest that the default extension binding in 
    auto-mode-alist was such that "\\.tex'" was associated 
    with latex-mode, and *not* tex-mode.

The function tex-mode checks the contents of the file to decide
whether to use latex-mode or plain-tex-mode.  That ought to 
be correct.  Why do you think it is wrong?
