Perhaps the right fix for this is not to accept random mode lines from random
patches(so to speak), but to in the project guidelines decide for modelines
for a 2-3 common editors, and then insert those consistently in all files,
and require that new files have them as well.
(Of course, I am personally in favour of mode lines since they make the life
easier for programmers and helps ensuring the style is respected.)
