Paredit for Debian
==================

By default, paredit is not enabled in any major modes.  Deciding which
modes should use paredit is rather subjective, so I've taken the
safest approach and left it off for all of them.  This means that
simply apt-get installing paredit-el should give neither a pleasant
nor nasty surprise to users.

The most typical major modes in which to use paredit are lisp and
scheme.  To enable those, add the following to your .emacs:

    (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)))
    (add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)))

A slightly more paranoid version might be:

    (when (fboundp 'paredit-mode)
      (mapc (lambda (hook)
              (add-hook hook (lambda () (paredit-mode +1))))
            '(lisp-mode-hook scheme-mode-hook)))

The latter will not cause an error when paredit isn't installed, and
doesn't involve copy-and-pasting.
