*i* am convinced by your arguments. the answer to the last para (in
theory)  is to rename everything in modes.def to be prefixed with
"mf". we have a space for "what the hell generated this lot for what
sort of machine", and we can use it for what we like. maybe the
relatively adhoc naming in modes.def will have to be rethought, but
the principle seems sound to me
