I guess there's little point in having a global mode switched on when
virtually no users will be using it.  Having it on would mean Emacs
should be dumped with mb-depth.el, and I don't see that happening.

However, I think everybody who uses `enable-recursive-minibuffers' would
probably prefer that it's on.  I've now mentioned this mode in the doc
string of the latter.

Closing.
