This is a joke, right?  I mean, there is not a single correct line in
that hook function.  All minor modes should be called with 1 as argument
to switch the minor mode on (rather than toggle it).  And what is the
deal with c-scope-operator?

C-h f c-scope-operator RET gives

c-scope-operator is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`cc-cmds.el'.


(c-scope-operator)

Insert a double colon scope operator at point.
No indentation or other "electric" behavior is performed.
