I am glad.

Hi,

The described method provides "initialization-hook" for any mode except Plain.
You can execute any set of macros when new buffer is created or
after file is loaded. Unfortunately, that is impossible for plain files.
Plain mode is absent in the list of modes in ProgramSmartIndent menu and
it cannot be added via Add/Modify Language Mode dialog.
I consider this restriction as a "bug" while really that is not a bug.
Can I add new message to bug tracker? List of real bugs is long enough.
