;; GNU Emacs is already, in a sense, object oriented -- each object
;; (buffer) belongs to a class (major mode), and that class defines
;; the relationship between messages (input events) and methods
;;
;; In the mean time, this package offers most of the advantages of
;; full inheritance with the existing major modes. The macro
-;; `define-mode-clone' allows the user to make a clone of an existing
+;; `define-derived-mode' allows the user to make a variant of an existing
;; major mode, with its own keymap. The new mode will inherit the key
;; bindings of its parent, and will, in fact, run its parent first
;; every time it is called. For example, the commands
;;
-;; (define-mode-clone hypertext-mode text-mode "Hypertext"
+;; (define-derived-mode hypertext-mode text-mode "Hypertext"
;; "Major mode for hypertext.\n\n\\{hypertext-mode-map}"
;; (setq case-fold-search nil))
;;
;; - assign the value 'hypertext-mode' to the 'major-mode' variable
;; - run the body of commands provided in the macro -- in this case,
;; set the local variable `case-fold-search' to nil.
-;; - **run the command (hypertext-mode-setup), which is empty by
-;; default, but may be redefined by the user to contain special
-;; commands (ie. setting local variables like 'outline-regexp')
-;; **NOTE: do not use this option -- it will soon be obsolete.
-;; - run anything assigned to 'hypertext-mode-hooks' (obsolete, but
-;; supported for the sake of compatibility).
;;
;; The advantages of this system are threefold. First, text mode is
;; untouched -- if you had added the new keystroke to `text-mode-map,'
;; possibly using hooks, you would have added it to all text buffers
;; -- here, it appears only in hypertext buffers, where it makes
-;; sense. Second, it is possible to build even further, and clone the

-;; (define-mode-clone html-mode hypertext-mode "HTML")
+;; (define-derived-mode html-mode hypertext-mode "HTML")
;; [various key definitions]

The arguments to this command are as follow:
-PARENT: the name of the command for the parent mode (ie. text-mode).
-CHILD: the name of the command for the clone mode.
-NAME: a string which will appear in the status line (ie. \"Hypertext\")
+CHILD: the name of the command for the derived mode.
+PARENT: the name of the command for the parent mode (e.g. `text-mode').
+NAME: a string which will appear in the status line (e.g. \"Hypertext\")
DOCSTRING: an optional documentation string--if you do not supply one,
the function will attempt to invent something useful.
BODY: forms to execute just before running the
hooks for the new mode.

+Here is how you could define LaTeX-Thesis mode as a variant of LaTeX mode:
- (define-mode-clone LaTeX-thesis-mode LaTeX-mode \"LaTeX-Thesis\")

You could then make new key bindings for `LaTeX-thesis-mode-map'

and DOCSTRING is generated by default.
