;;; Commentary:

;; Minor modes are useful and common.  This package makes defining a
;; minor mode easy, by focusing on the writing of the minor mode
;; functionalities themselves.  Moreover, this package enforces a
;; conventional naming of user interface primitives, making things
;; natural for the minor-mode end-users.

;; For each mode, easy-mmode defines the following:
;; <mode>      : The minor mode predicate. A buffer-local variable.
;; <mode>-map  : The keymap possibly associated to <mode>.
;; <mode>-hook,<mode>-on-hook,<mode>-off-hook and <mode>-mode:
;;       see `easy-mmode-define-minor-mode' documentation
;;
;; eval
;;  (pp (macroexpand '(easy-mmode-define-minor-mode <your-mode> <doc>)))
;; to check the result before using it.

;; The order in which minor modes are installed is important.  Keymap
;; lookup proceeds down minor-mode-map-alist, and the order there
;; tends to be the reverse of the order in which the modes were
;; installed.  Perhaps there should be a feature to let you specify
;; orderings.

;; Additionally to `define-minor-mode', the package provides convenient
;; ways to define keymaps, and other helper functions for major and minor modes.

;;; Code:

(defmacro easy-mmode-define-toggle (mode &optional doc &rest body)
  "Define a one arg toggle mode MODE function and associated hooks.
MODE is the so defined function that toggles the mode.
optional DOC is its associated documentation.
BODY is executed after the toggling and before running the hooks.

Hooks are checked for run, each time MODE-mode is called.
They run under the followings conditions:
MODE-hook: if the mode is toggled.
MODE-on-hook: if the mode is on.
MODE-off-hook: if the mode is off.

When the mode is effectively toggled, two hooks may run.
If so MODE-hook is guaranteed to be the first."

;;; A "macro-only" reimplementation of define-derived-mode.

(defmacro easy-mmode-define-derived-mode (child parent name &optional docstring &rest body)
  "Create a new mode as a variant of an existing mode.

The arguments to this command are as follow:

CHILD:     the name of the command for the derived mode.
PARENT:    the name of the command for the parent mode (e.g. `text-mode').
NAME:      a string which will appear in the status line (e.g. \"Hypertext\")
DOCSTRING: an optional documentation string--if you do not supply one,
           the function will attempt to invent something useful.
BODY:      forms to execute just before running the
           hooks for the new mode.

Here is how you could define LaTeX-Thesis mode as a variant of LaTeX mode:

  (define-derived-mode LaTeX-thesis-mode LaTeX-mode \"LaTeX-Thesis\")

You could then make new key bindings for `LaTeX-thesis-mode-map'
without changing regular LaTeX mode.  In this example, BODY is empty,
and DOCSTRING is generated by default.

On a more complicated level, the following command uses `sgml-mode' as
the parent, and then sets the variable `case-fold-search' to nil:

  (define-derived-mode article-mode sgml-mode \"Article\"
    \"Major mode for editing technical articles.\"
    (setq case-fold-search nil))

Note that if the documentation string had been left out, it would have
been generated automatically, with a reference to the keymap."
