All the problems it's solving already have solutions,
just as short-term and effective as the patch would do.

Problem is that patch is, or seems to be, incompatible with
all the other things  we're discussing.  I.e. can you clearly
paint a way forward from it that solves the "what is this
language in this buffer", "what is the language for this
major-mode" and the "what mode should I use for that language"
problems?
