Suppose I wrote an elisp function that dispatched actions based on
any number of major modes.
Would there be anything wrong about a function like this:
(defun tj-check-mode (prefix)
"Test the major mode to see if the symbol begins with prefix.
The test is case insensitive."
(interactive)
(string-prefix-p prefix (symbol-name major-mode) 1))
;; would return t for major-mode 'python or 'python-mode

The Röhler is very feature-rich as opposed to the native 'python
mode. I can't remember, but I may have started using the Röhler
before the built-in was implemented.
