I don't use view mode much, but it occurs to me that it would be nice
to have it come on automatically when I visit a buffer that is
read-only.  I am not sure of the best way to do this - a handler for
the read-protect errors when you try to modify the buffer?  I hope it
doesn't require a new command loop.
