Right.  But we could make (show-paren-mode 1) set the mooted
show-paren-global-modes to t.  Since it's show-paren-mode is on by
default, show-paren-global-modes would basically only be used by those
people who's not explicitly saying (show-paren-mode 1).

And (show-paren-mode -1), for that matter.

So introducing a variable like that (with a default value of `(not
special-mode)') should not affect people who are already explicitly
switching the mode on or off.

Or am I missing something?
