Description

enhancement

From Stefan Monnier

matlab-shell-mode should really be defined with define-derived-mode,
actually, which would take care of running that hook for you (along
with a few other things).

Sample 100% untested patch below (which also fixes some left over uses
of EIEIO's old "object name" argument in linemark.el).
