+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; GNU Emacs is already, in a sense, object oriented -- each object
+;; (buffer) belongs to a class (major mode), and that class defines
+;; the relationship between messages (input events) and methods
+;; (commands) by means of a keymap.
+;;
+;; The only thing missing is a good scheme of inheritance. It is
+;; possible to simulate a single level of inheritance with generous
+;; use of hooks and a bit of work -- sgml-mode, for example, also runs
+;; the hooks for text-mode, and keymaps can inherit from other keymaps
+;; -- but generally, each major mode ends up reinventing the wheel.
+;; Ideally, someone should redesign all of Emacs's major modes to
+;; follow a more conventional object-oriented system: when defining a
+;; new major mode, the user should need only to name the existing mode
+;; it is most similar to, then list the (few) differences.
+;;
+;; In the mean time, this package offers most of the advantages of
+;; full inheritance with the existing major modes. The macro
+;; `define-derived-mode' allows the user to make a variant of an existing
+;; major mode, with its own keymap. The new mode will inherit the key
+;; bindings of its parent, and will, in fact, run its parent first
+;; every time it is called. For example, the commands
+;;
+;; (define-derived-mode hypertext-mode text-mode "Hypertext"
+;; "Major mode for hypertext.\n\n\\{hypertext-mode-map}"
+;; (setq case-fold-search nil))
+;;
+;; (define-key hypertext-mode-map [down-mouse-3] 'do-hyper-link)
+;;
+;; will create a function `hypertext-mode' with its own (sparse)
+;; keymap `hypertext-mode-map.' The command M-x hypertext-mode will
+;; perform the following actions:
+;;
+;; - run the command (text-mode) to get its default setup
+;; - replace the current keymap with 'hypertext-mode-map,' which will
+;; inherit from 'text-mode-map'.
+;; - replace the current syntax table with
+;; 'hypertext-mode-syntax-table', which will borrow its defaults
+;; from the current text-mode-syntax-table.
+;; - replace the current abbrev table with
+;; 'hypertext-mode-abbrev-table', which will borrow its defaults
+;; from the current text-mode-abbrev table
+;; - change the mode line to read "Hypertext"
+;; - assign the value 'hypertext-mode' to the 'major-mode' variable
+;; - run the body of commands provided in the macro -- in this case,
+;; set the local variable `case-fold-search' to nil.
+;;
+;; The advantages of this system are threefold. First, text mode is
+;; untouched -- if you had added the new keystroke to `text-mode-map,'
+;; possibly using hooks, you would have added it to all text buffers
+;; -- here, it appears only in hypertext buffers, where it makes
+;; sense. Second, it is possible to build even further, and make
+;; a derived mode from a derived mode. The commands
+;;
+;; (define-derived-mode html-mode hypertext-mode "HTML")
+;; [various key definitions]
+;;
+;; will add a new major mode for HTML with very little fuss.
+;;
+;; Note also the function `derived-mode-p' which can tell if the current
+;; mode derives from another. In a hypertext-mode, buffer, for example,
+;; (derived-mode-p 'text-mode) would return non-nil. This should always
+;; be used in place of (eq major-mode 'text-mode).

+(defmacro define-derived-mode (child parent name &optional docstring &rest body)
+ "Create a new mode as a variant of an existing mode.
+
+The arguments to this command are as follow:
+
+CHILD: the name of the command for the derived mode.
+PARENT: the name of the command for the parent mode (e.g. `text-mode')
+ or nil if there is no parent.
+NAME: a string which will appear in the status line (e.g. \"Hypertext\")
+DOCSTRING: an optional documentation string--if you do not supply one,
+ the function will attempt to invent something useful.
+BODY: forms to execute just before running the
+ hooks for the new mode. Do not use `interactive' here.
+
+BODY can start with a bunch of keyword arguments. The following keyword
+ arguments are currently understood:
+:group GROUP
+ Declare the customization group that corresponds to this mode.
+:syntax-table TABLE
+ Use TABLE instead of the default.
+ A nil value means to simply use the same syntax-table as the parent.
+:abbrev-table TABLE
+ Use TABLE instead of the default.
+ A nil value means to simply use the same abbrev-table as the parent.
+
+Here is how you could define LaTeX-Thesis mode as a variant of LaTeX mode:
+
+ (define-derived-mode LaTeX-thesis-mode LaTeX-mode \"LaTeX-Thesis\")
+
+You could then make new key bindings for `LaTeX-thesis-mode-map'
+without changing regular LaTeX mode. In this example, BODY is empty,
+and DOCSTRING is generated by default.
+
+On a more complicated level, the following command uses `sgml-mode' as
+the parent, and then sets the variable `case-fold-search' to nil:
+
+ (define-derived-mode article-mode sgml-mode \"Article\"
+ \"Major mode for editing technical articles.\"

+been generated automatically, with a reference to the keymap."
