Yes. Or, in a mode-based editor, you might have 'switched' variables 
that could be bound to per-mode strings, so that the logic for a 
command wouldn't necessarily need to be duplicated for each mode. 
(You'd also want the ability to override the command on a per-mode 
basis.)

It's not clear to me that a sophisticated mode implementation could be 
based on raw shell script, though. Hard to do polymorphism in shell 
script.
