;;; Commentary:

;; Minor modes are useful and common.  This package makes defining a
;; minor mode easy, by focusing on the writing of the minor mode
;; functionalities themselves.  Moreover, this package enforces a
;; conventional naming of user interface primitives, making things
;; natural for the minor-mode end-users.

;; For each mode, easy-mmode defines the following:
;; <mode>      : The minor mode predicate. A buffer-local variable.
;; <mode>-map  : The keymap possibly associated to <mode>.
;; <mode>-hook,<mode>-on-hook,<mode>-off-hook and <mode>-mode:
;;       see `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' documentation
;;
;; eval
;;  (pp (macroexpand '(easy-mmode-define-minor-mode <your-mode> <doc>)))
;; to check the result before using it.

;; The order in which minor modes are installed is important.  Keymap
;; lookup proceeds down minor-mode-map-alist, and the order there
;; tends to be the reverse of the order in which the modes were
;; installed.  Perhaps there should be a feature to let you specify
;; orderings.

;;; Code:

(defun easy-mmode-define-keymap (keymap-alist &optional menu-name)
  "Return a keymap builded from KEYMAP-ALIST.
KEYMAP-ALIST must be a list of (KEYBINDING . BINDING) where
KEYBINDING and BINDINGS are suited as for define-key.
optional MENU-NAME is passed to `make-sparse-keymap'."
  (let ((keymap (make-sparse-keymap menu-name)))
    (mapcar
     (function (lambda (bind)
		 (define-key keymap
		   (car bind) (cdr bind))))
     keymap-alist)
    keymap))

(defmacro easy-mmode-define-toggle (mode &optional doc)
  "Define a one arg toggle mode MODE function and associated hooks.
MODE-mode is the so defined function that toggle the mode.
optional DOC is its associated documentation.

Hooks are checked for run, each time MODE-mode is called.
They run under the followings conditions:
MODE-hook: if the mode is toggled.
MODE-on-hook: if the mode is on.
MODE-off-hook: if the mode is off.

When the mode is effectively toggled, two hooks may run.
If so MODE-hook is guaranteed to be the first.
