[net.emacs] A suggestion

crl@CSvax:Pucc-H:pur-phy.UUCP (08/31/83)

I've implemented an idea stolen from ITS EMACS that I've found very
useful that some of you might also want to use.  At the end of every
library I do a (error-occured (&setup-libraryname-library)) and at the
end of a mode function an (error-occured (&setup-modename-mode)).  This 
way, other EMACS system functions that either load libraries or call
modes will get setup to the user's liking, thus (almost) eliminating
the need for users to copy libraries just to tailor key-bindings and
the like.

Many of Spencer's (Thomas at Utah-CS, if you don't know) already
have hooks like this, but they're nicer in that they appear at
the end of the invocation -- so the c mode hook gets called every time
you edit a new .c file, for example.

It's incredibly useful.
