(Note that only some command names have "global-" prefix.
All defvar, defun (except some commands), defconst, defcustom,
defface and defgroup are prefixed by "blank-".)

Well, I also think this way, but there is no convention
(or consensus) about global minor mode name.

Initially, global blank-mode had the name blank-global-mode,
but Juri Linkov <address@hidden> suggested to change to global-blank-mode.

I made a `grep -e "global-" *.el' in emacs/lisp dir.
It seems that some of global minor mode names are prefixed by "global-",
for example, global-font-lock-mode (instead of font-lock-global-mode),
global-auto-revert-mode, global-cwarn-mode, global-hi-lock-mode,
global-highlight-changes, global-hl-line-mode.

I don't know what convention to use if that already used by some
global minor mode ("global-" prefix) or if I use "blank-*-global-mode".

BTW, I think it should have some note in
Emacs Lisp Reference Manual about global minor mode name.
