(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

We now have some multi-mode modes in Emacs, so I'm not sure what's being
proposed here is necessary these days (or indeed it has been fixed in
the decade since this was reported).  Is this something that is still
relevant?
