define-major-mode

[Miles Bader]

Somebody remind me why there's no define-major-mode macro...?

I know the same effect can be achieved with (define-derived-mode foo
fundamental-mode ...), but thought that Richard didn't people to do that
(I sort of agree that it looks kludgey)...

But why doesn't emacs have somethign like:

(defmacro define-major-mode (name &rest blah)
  `(define-derived-mode ,name fundamental-mode ,@blah))

...?
