If @var{parent} has a non-@code{nil} @code{mode-class} symbol
property, then @code{define-derived-mode} sets the @code{mode-class}
property of @var{variant} to the same value. This ensures, for
example, that if @var{parent} is a special mode, then @var{variant} is
also a special mode (@pxref{Major Mode Conventions}).
You can also specify @code{nil} for @var{parent}. This gives the new
mode no parent. Then @code{define-derived-mode} behaves as described
above, but, of course, omits all actions connected with @var{parent}.
