If at all possible, please use define-derived-mode which results in
cleaner code and neatly hides those details.
The problem is that rewriting a mode to use define-derived-mode has to
be done carefully and takes time. Otherwise, there is the risk of
introducing bugs. On the other hand, enclosing the parent mode inside a
delay-mode-hooks is so completely routine and quick that it can be
done right after one notices the problem. This is important, since
there may be a lot of these problems out there. Rewriting the mode to
use define-derived-mode can always be done later when one has more
time and has no other, more urgent, things to do.
Sincerely,
Luc.
