Summary:                    Emacs: Please, inherit `cmake-mode' from `prog-mode'
Description: 
The 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.
