Subject: bug#6276: Could indent-tabs-mode etc be made minor modes?

I just saw on EmacsWiki a list of minor modes that do not have a
command for turning them on, for example indent-tabs-mode. This is
instead a defcustom.

Could this be turned into a global minor mode, for example with something like

(define-minor-mode indent-tabs-mode
  "test"
  :global t
  :variable indent-tabs-mode)

If so then I think it should be done, because the current situation is
a bit confusing.

The minor modes without commands to turn them on that was mentioned was:

  ‘adaptive-fill-mode’
  ‘auto-hscroll-mode’
  ‘indent-tabs-mode’
  ‘shift-select-mode’
  ‘ediff-word-mode’
