So here I am, starting that separate discussion.

Since tree-sitter support is per-language, I do think it makes sense
for each mode to have its tree-sitter support turned on separately.
But we could also have a global "turn on tree-sitter support in every
mode that has it" option, which will turn this on for those modes
which can be supported by tree-sitter, if the appropriate
language-support library is installed.

Comments?
