Right. But some modes define an init file that users need to create
and maintain.
Right. But:
1. do we have a starting idea of which of those are mode-generated
and which of those are user-generated? And which can be either?
2. do we need to decide on this, admittedly nice-to-have behaviour,
before introducing the new major mode? Shouldn't we just take a
"best-effort" approach here?
