Yes, that could be a way, but I think we first have to think about how, when and which buffer local variables should survive moving between chunks with different major modes. I have thought about three different cases: - Buffer local variables that should never survive moving between chunks with different major modes. - Those that always should survive (but be killed when switching major modes when mumamo is not used). - Those that will be killed when moving to a chunk with a different major mode, but will be resurrected when point again reaches a chunk with the same major mode. (They are what I call "per major mode".)
