Maybe, but I can't really tell what you mean, so I can't say.
Could you be more specific?

My concern is to also have available the existing Finder mode, that is, not just
within Info mode. I don't really care about the mode name or function names for
Finder (e.g. `finder-commentary'), as long as the same behavior is available. I
could easily change my code to call different functions, if that's what you
meant.
