generic-x is unusual, in that it defines a very large number of
modes. It's like a large collection of small files, each one of which
defines a separate mode. So it included a mechanism to pretend only
some of the file was loaded.

Users might not want some file suddenly turn on a mode the user didn't
intend to use. I don't understand what else there is to explain here,
really.
