I agree. Moreover, if blah.todo is not empty but not a valid Todo file,
visiting it will raise a different error from a different part of the
code, so it would be necessary to have multiple uses of
`with-demoted-errors'. And there's still the issue of why *.todo files
not in `todo-directory' should be in Todo mode. And the only sensible
answer is: they shouldn't be. So I am convinced that todo-mode should
not use auto-mode-alist: it's not needed and it only causes problems. I
somehow became blinded by the idea that it's nice to be able to visit a
todo-mode file with `find-file' or from Dired and have it be in
todo-mode and display properly, but this was just a mistake and now I've
seen the light. So unless there's a really good reason not to, I'll go
ahead and excise the use of auto-mode-alist; I'll post a patch for
review before committing.
