But as you have said, one can define an independent minor mode that can
still be defined within an elisp file implementing a minor mode.

My original problem started when I decided to integrate the functionalities
in plain-tex-mode (in tex-mode.el) within texinfo-mode.  Did not realise
the minor mode prettify-mode existed, that is separate from tex-mode.el.
