Isn't that wording what the commit that we had pointed you at changed?
The text doesn't speak about a "mode" any more.

And is the word "shadowed" really unclear?  It's used in the manual, but
not officially defined.  To me it was clear from the beginning what it
means.

I agree that it could be useful to tell what causes the shadowing,
though there are ways for the user to find out (e.g. C-h k).

Michael.
