Use delight instead of diminish?

[darkfeline]

Advantages of using delight instead:

• Works on major modes too
• Properly handles mode line forms, like (:eval (format " Minor Mode %s" variable))
• Newer, for what it's worth.

So, right now I'm working on a scheme that will make use-package completely extensible by other users, so that packages like req-package will be able to plug directly into use-package. It will make adding a new keyword like :delight trivial to do.

[jwiegley]

So here's what I recommend: develop delight separately as an addon for use-package, and it if works well for you we can include it later in use-package itself.

That's great ! I already see two useful keywords for spacemacs. Vive use-package !

@jwiegley Do you support having third party addons using the new framework getting included into use-package itself or keeping them as separate addons for the discretion of the user to install?

[jwiegley]

@darkfeline Either way. If it seems like a relatively small (i.e., not difficult to maintain) addon that will be of general use, like :delight, then I'm happy to include it into use-package itself. Otherwise, if it's something a bit more involved that should have its own documentation, issue tracking, etc., (like req-package), then it should be a separate addon that users install themselves.

@syl20bnr Nice idea!
