Just my $.02, but would something related to "file projection" work? Since things like `sqlite-mode-open-file' "project" the file into a format that's more usable in Emacs. So my suggestion would be `projected-file-mode'.Should there be another general mode these things should inherit from, like special-mode, but taking care of things like write-file-functions (i.e., disallow saving if the mode hasn't implemented a function for that)? If so, what should it be called? `really-special-mode' is probably too special. Uhm... Something that expresses "the displayed contents of this mode doesn't match up the saved contents much"... `unloaded-file-mode'? Hm... any ideas?
