The jinx package defines 'jinx-camel-modes [1], a list of major modes
for languages using camel case or pascal case. This variable is passed
to 'derived-mode-p. Before my PR #64 [2], this variable used to contain
'javascript-mode (the alias) instead of 'js-mode (the function). For a
file using 'js-mode, the equivalent of the code below was executed:
(derived-mode-p 'js-mode 'javascript-mode)
⇒ nil
I was expecting a non-nil value. My PR replaced 'javascript-mode with
'js-mode in 'jinx-camel-modes thus working around the problem.
