Thanks, I chose fundamental mode instead of artist mode, since it seems
more natural for quotes. I don't know which other types of fixed-width
regions there are, but for me quotes seem to be the most frequently used
regions of this type. If thats generally the case, wouldn't fundamental
mode be a smarter choice as a default mode in this case (principle
of least surprise)?
