I'd like to add in Java support here as well.  But since java is part of
cc-mode.el, maybe it'd be best if it got its own mode, say
java-treesitter-mode.el, so that we don't add a dependency into cc-mode?
If you agree, I can create such a major-mode as well.

Also, how should we mandate what modes get the new tree-sitter support?
It is pretty fast to add new modes, and adding support for languages not
already supported in core, such as say, golang, should be very feasible.
But maybe that is something that should live in elpa?
