Minor modes are useful and common. This package makes defining a minor mode easy, by focusing on the writing of the minor mode functionalities themselves. Moreover, this package enforces a conventional naming of user interface primitives, making things natural for the minor-mode end-users.

For each mode, easy-mmode defines the following:
<mode> : The minor mode predicate. A buffer-local variable.
<mode>-map : The keymap possibly associated to <mode>.
      see define-minor-mode documentation

eval
 (pp (macroexpand '(define-minor-mode <your-mode> <doc>)))
to check the result before using it.

The order in which minor modes are installed is important. Keymap lookup proceeds down minor-mode-map-alist, and the order there tends to be the reverse of the order in which the modes were installed. Perhaps there should be a feature to let you specify orderings.

Additionally to define-minor-mode, the package provides convenient ways to define keymaps, and other helper functions for major and minor modes.
