Why not have
define-global-minor-mode automatically arrange to save the value in
that variable?
Because we have to know in which major mode the minor mode was
enabled. That could easily happen behind define-global-minor-mode's
back, by using the non-global variant.
I think I understand that. But...
In effect, we know of at least
two examples of major modes that do this, comint-mode and
interactive-sql-mode.
This makes no sense to me. I thought you were talking about minor
modes and what they need to do. Now you have switched to major modes.
I cannot follow the change of subject. Meanwhile, you have not
finished the explanation.
Anyway, how about if we change define-minor-mode so that it generates
the code to record which major mode enabled it?
