Awesome, Thanks!
And speaking of the boiler-plate, I have always found the sense in
which -1 vs 1 is used in all the minor-mode toggle functions, where
nil actually turns it on --that usage is too late to change. But
could we perhaps alleviate the pain by adding two special values 'on
and 'off so that
(font-lock-mode 'on) turns it on and (font-lock-mode 'offf) turns it
off?
