Specifically, it would only target one user class of emacs: the Common
Lisp programmers.  The problem is that if CL programmers eventually fork
to their own clone of emacs, a lot of them won't be programming emacs
lisp anymore.  This would not necessarily be a better situation.

Moreover, notice that it hints to a general solution to the multi-mode
problem.
