We need to discuss Ben's behavior implementation.
IMHO, the "behavior mechanism" should not be user-visible at all!
Rather it should be described as "global minor modes" (as we already
do with font-lock, for example).
I think it's an important enhancement to the idea of minor mode, and
should be described as such. (And it's _not_ an "interface to
packages" at all, not all packages supply minor modes, and some that
do actually have a completely different main purpose.) I don't think
it's possible to distinguish between behaviors and minor modes in
general. Also, while the behavior mechanism is worth having now, we
really should make a priority of integrating the behavior definition
functionality into define-minor-mode (which would then become actually
worth having, instead of being yet another GNU compatibility
irritant).
