As this is not really obvious to the new jed user, I'd prefer if the
language modes did not change the setting of "prominent" keys directly. The
mechanism used for ENTER (i.e. the "newline_indent_hook") is a good example
how the problem could be solved.

Besides the possibility of a new "tab" buffer-hook, there is a chance to use
a slang-only solution: "mode-ificable commands" (mode_cmd.sl) the skript
posted some time ago to the list and soon to be found at the jed modes
repository.
