But then the "and other similar Foos" should be added to all our major
modes, since that's also true for them.  E.g. how 'bout:

    @@ -2608,7 +2608,7 @@ c-c-menu
     
     ;;;###autoload
     (define-derived-mode c-mode prog-mode "C"
    -  "Major mode for editing C code.
    +  "Major mode for editing C code and other similar languages.
     
     To submit a problem report, enter `\\[c-submit-bug-report]' from a
     c-mode buffer.  This automatically sets up a mail buffer with version

After all, I've used `c-mode` for Lex and Yacc files in the past (and
we still use it for XPM files).
