Terrific idea, combining ace-jump-mode with multiple-cursors.
Just curious if you're planning to support avy as well since it's basically a better ace-jump-mode and under active development. It seems most people are switching or have switched to avy.

so I've been using ace jump for a bit now and I'm often frustrated because I can't use the quick change like the original ace-mode (C-c C-c to quickly change from char-mode to word-mode and vice-versa) so I have to quit out and make the correct shortcut?

good job otherwise tho.

Steps to reproduce -

1. Open a blank buffer and enter the text za
2. Run the command ace-mc-add-multiple-cursors
3. Enter the letter z

Expected result -
A cursor is added at z

Actual result -
The command fails with

progn: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

It seems the infinite loop happens because ace-mc-add-char calls function pointed by ace-mc-ace-mode-function (which is bound to ace-jump-word-mode), ace-jump-word-mode in turn calls ace-jump-do which runs the ace-jump-mode-end-hook. In case of ace-mc, the function ace-mc-maybe-jump-end is executed as a part of the hook which calls ace-mc-add-char again leading to the infinite loop.
