Do you mind providing a quick recap? Is cdlatex going to become part of
AUCTeX? Or vanilla Emacs?

Wait, what do you mean? Maybe I haven't made myself clear: I was
thinking of defining an alias, say, `auctex-mode`, so that configuration
for it can be easily tell apart from latex-mode. Actually, I don't know,
is it possible to do so in Emacs-lisp?
