In Emacs-24, the `foo-mode' function of a minor mode *is* the
turn-on-foo-mode function (at least when called non-interactively
without an argument, e.g. on a normal hook).

> This would be much more cleaner than what is needed now:
>     (add-hook 'nroff-mode-hook '(lambda () (turn-on-hl-line-mode 1)))

As mentioned, the above is not needed any more:

  (add-hook 'nroff-mode-hook 'hl-line-mode)

will work just fine.

The turn-off-foo is rarely needed in my experience.
