[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

While this feature isn't by any means critical to me, the response seems
a bit overly cautious w.r.t. change IMO.
From what I can tell the main reason this has been tagged "WONT FIX" in
the past is that you don't want cc-mode to depend on prog-mode. That's a
bit odd, isn't it?
What makes that particularly strange is how pretty much every single major-
mode which derives from cc-mode probably will derive from prog-mode, so
for the loading of any mode derived from cc-mode, such a change would
probably lead to very few effective changes.
