IIRC, the reason why I used `setq' is that most pre-existing global minor
modes used setq rather than setq-default. I assumed the reason was to make
it possible to make the mode buffer-local in a specific buffer.
Feel free to change it to setq-default if you feel it's better. I don't
have any preference.
