But I made another change, that is,
the patched set-auto-mode returns the chosen mode. I think this may be
useful for programs that want to know which mode a buffer should be in,
but do not want to set it.

Yes, passing just t would certainly be clearer. I thought that having
always a list would be simpler to use and possibly more flexible, but I
would certainly make that change if you think it is best.
Please use just t for that meaning, and document why it's useful.
