The intention was that *STANDARD-COMTAB* is supposed to be the common
ultimate default; a change to it is intended to happen to ALL ZWEI
invocations, ZMACS or not.  So I guess it is a bug for modes
to chagne STANDARD-COMTAB; they ought to leave it alone.  So I
guess each invocation does need its own COMTAB if it wants to use
modes.  This means that a ZMACS with modes really ought to go through
three COMTABs, the modes one, the ZMACS one, and the ZWEI one.
You could change the functions in COMTAB > to know about a second
format of COMTABs meant to be used for sparse COMTABs, that need
not have the moby array...
