I do not understand what you're talking about.
Font Lock is a pretty wild example of that.
Would you please be specific?
I am talking about things like font-lock-{add,remove}-keywords, when
passing nil for MODE.
In addition to this difficulty, not all minor modes are defined with
define-minor-mode.
Note that my latest patch to easy-mmode no longer requires minor modes
to manage the MODE-stored-mode variable themselves.
define-global-minor's managing is not 100% reliable, but now the
variable is only used for efficiency's sake, not for correctness'
sake, so it no longer needs to be 100% reliable. A minor modes can
manage MODE-stored-mode _if it wants to_. define-global-minor mode's
managing will not interfere with the minor mode's own managing.
Sincerely,
Luc.
