I get C mode after `C-x b foo.c RET' due to such customization:

```
(setq-default major-mode (lambda ()
                           (if buffer-file-name
                               (fundamental-mode)
                             (let ((buffer-file-name (buffer-name)))
                               (set-auto-mode)))))
```

Now I tried again to switch to the deleted *scratch* buffer to recreate it,
and it activated the correct mode.  This is because switch-to-buffer
uses set-buffer-major-mode that has special handling for *scratch*:

  if (strcmp (SSDATA (BVAR (XBUFFER (buffer), name)), "*scratch*") == 0)
    function = find_symbol_value (intern ("initial-major-mode"));
