Joke, joke. It's a poke at the general obscurity of mode configurations -- there's a mode for everything. > Er, what's setq? I have enough trouble remembering how to get out of it. M-x exit-emacs, if you forget the key binding.

The important thing to remember about Emacs is that it's not an editor, it's a tookit for writing editors that happens to have an insanely complicated example implementation shipped with the toolkit. Once you figure that out, it starts to make more sense. - db
