Could someone please decide what
the policy about this is, so that I can make a patch to either
files.el (adding an entry to auto-mode-alist) or to IDLWAVE (adding an
autoload form which does
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons ("\.[Pp][Rr][Oo]\\'" . idlwave-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
I'm not speaking for the project, but IMO it is OK to add an
entry to auto-mode-alist. There already exist bunch of
package dependent entries. I don't think an error produced
when opening .pro file without idlwave package is too
annoying. Besides, auto-mode-alist has .idl entry. It does
no harm to add another entry for idlwave-mode.
