I don't understand much, well to be honest: nothing, on how modes in emacs work. I meant that we maybe could move whatever the .dir-locals.el sets into some external modules/files/set if possible at all. It probably works for gentoo .ebuild because they have a different file extension than bash, but at their core it is bash (if I don't mix it up right now).
