Most of the code in Emacs doesn't follow the -- naming convention,
yet. There are no mentions to it in ELPA.
But indeed I've found some code in SLIME and SLY that uses it.
I know the maintainers of these packages well (one of them is
me) and will ensure there is no impact.

OK. I admit I don't care much about those, but why not...

Any problem with doing so? I'll interpret that as a "Yes".

Ah, indeed I had misunderstood you. But what's the point
in having them also in the cookies then? That bit escapes me.
Anyway, I went and looked at the three files you mention, and
I discovered they're not "fixed" as I thought. They're defcustom
and defined way after auto-mode-alist, so we'd have to add-to-list,
contradicting the advice near auto-mode-alist. And the only way
we to safely do that add-to-list is to do it from :set directives
in the defcustom definition that mutates the auto-mode-alist
variable. If it's as complicated as I this, I don't think it's worth it.
So, while I don't oppose doing this, if you really insist I'd
appreciate you tell me how to do it or what you had in mind.

Yes, let's be hopeful, though I don't yet know who cares about
this completeness as much as you.
