For context, I'm asking because I don't think rebinding `C-x C-q`
to a different command (like in the case of Dired) is as good
as using the existing hook.  It should be much more consistent
to use the standard facilities of the existing minor mode.

Likewise, I don't think having "-read-only" or "-edit" variations
of each major mode is a good idea.  We can activate and deactivate
keymaps on the fly right?
