How would you suggest fixing the original problem (of a minor mode
wanting to make the string that it puts in the mode line clickable in a
way specific to that minor mode)?
I have somewhat of a bad feeling about this interface as a way of
doing things. Users would not expect such an interface or look for
it, so the mode ought to provide something else. What is that
other interface?
- another keyword (say :propertize-default) which gives the new
properties priority over the existing properties
:propertize gives its new priority over the existing properties
in the strings. I think you mean giving the existing properties
priority.
Such a feature could certainly be implemented and made safe.
One must not simply copy and tweak the code for :propertize,
because the handling of risky needs to be thought about.
However, I tend to think that the right solution is to use
an interface that is more typical of Emacs features.
