Summary0015429: Emacs: Please, inherit `cmake-mode' from `prog-mode'
DescriptionThe title speaks for itself. Is there any particular reason that you decided not to make any inheritance for `cmake-mode'? Some people (including me) have things like

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'fci-mode)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook 'fci-mode)

which make life easier, and that's exactly one of those features what proper mode inheritance was intended for.

Please, consider using proper way of Emacs major mode definition, i.e.

(define-derived-mode cmake-mode prog-mode "CMAKE" ...

Thank you.

Thanks for pointing this out. No CMake developers are experts in emacs mode development so the cmake-mode is maintained by contributors. Please propose a specific patch.
