Hi Erik,

What you have here looks great. The only question I have is that you 
seem to be treating modes which hold a value and modes which are on / 
not on the same. This is fine but I don't think that generalized 
booleans should be the right way to look at it: rather modes whose 
value are t / nil are modes which are on / not on, and modes which have 
some non-boolean value are modes which hold a value. Does this make 
sense? Is it the way you've implemented it in the code?

Thanks!
