Perhaps your problem becomes different [0] if you squint at it from
another angle (space vs time): do you really want your whole buffer
to "switch mode", or are you looking after some regions "having a
different mode"?

In the second case, look, e.g. for "multiple major modes" [1]. It's
a class of problems for which need exists (e.g. Org source snippets,
but also those PHP cum HTML cum Javascript thingies.
