IIUC, you are trying to do something like
(er/enable-mode-expansions 'clojure-mode 'er/add-clojure-mode-expansions)
right?
But a tree-sitter-based expander doesn’t really depend on any particular
major mode. In essence, they depend on the existence of a tree-sitter
parser in the current buffer. So I suggest that you define a universal
expander (similar to er/expand-word, etc) that checks the existence of a
tree-sitter parser and uses the parser to expand the region, and simply
do nothing if there isn’t a parser.
But to work with tree-sitter, expand-region might need to disable some
of its expanders when a tree-sitter parser is available, in case there’s
some conflict between the existing language-specific expander and the
tree-sitter expander.
