I like it!

I would make the parameter accept a string (a file name) instead of
'file:

nil => old default behavior
t => concat(emacs-directory "scratch")
"filename" => use that file

That way I can save my scratch buffer in a custom directory (something
available over the network for instance).

It's readable for me.
