-;;; 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.\"
- (setq case-fold-search nil))
-
-Note that if the documentation string had been left out, it would have
-been generated automatically, with a reference to the keymap."
