Yeah, I'll set it up to automatically put the refdb-output buffer into
refdb-mode. The only downside to that is, the way I currently have
things set up, I think that will mean that every time you run a query
and it returns output, Emacs will re-initialize the database list and
rebuild the RefDB menu, which (on my machine at least) takes a couple of
seconds to do.

I had it set up before to build the database list only once at Emacs
startup, but changed it because it seemed like bad design to have it
slowing things down at Emacs startup.
