It works, thanks, Pascal.
Didn't realize that I could use `mode' that way. Seems that it specifies
the additional minor-mode, but it is not a variable(at least `C-h v'
cannot fetch it). So what is the mechanism?
Another question, is the local variable specified should be limited to
be within 512 bytes exactly? I haven't found the related docs yet.
