Or maybe the right way is to set a mode at the very top,
the first apply-templates call, and not mess with the
built-in templates at all. (You'd write your own
"postgres-mode" templates the same way, to "wrap"
and call the default templates.)

Think of the mode as an implicit argument that's preserved and
passed down through each template invocation without having to
be explicitly specified by the calling code.
