Fully agree.  Let's give the NonGNU modes time do ponder and if it
doesn't work out, I think a from-scratch solution is the way to go.  If
it comes to that, I can help develop the minimal prototype I presented
into something with decent fontification and possibly also interoperation
with heavier packages like CIDER (with or without that package's
cooperation).

If I had to guess, I think Richard means something similar to what
Philip was suggesting, something that could be described as perhaps
be described as autoinstall (from GNU ELPA).
