FMH. I'm so glad I work on XEmacs, where I can hold my nose and say
"for compatibility" as an excuse for this, instead of having to
justify it.
I would prefer to implement turn-on/turn-off file pseudo-variables
(like 'mode' and 'eval'). That is, instead of
;; -*- mode: autofill -*-
you could use
;; -*- turn-on: autofill -*-
and this would be extended with
;; -*- turn-off: autofill -*-
I'm of two minds whether the mode variable name should be allowed to
be abbrievated. Aliasing 'turn-on' to mode is attractive, but so is
the way it reads as
;; -*- turn-off: autofill-mode -*-
