I think features that want mode-specific behavior in some region of a
file need new infrastructure (that needs to be discussed and designed
first).  Doing this mmm-style is IMO a terrible kludge that cannot
possibly work well.  Serious functionality like that should stop
piggy-backing unrelated features in Emacs, and request infrastructure
that will serve them.  Straining Emacs Lisp-related extensibility for
that is simply wrong, as it puts gratuitous pressure on existing
infrastructure, and stands in the way of future development by
imposing impossible backward compatibility requirements.
