I don't think that sounds very useful. The point of the scratch-buffer
command is to help people who wondered what to do if they've
(accidentally) killed the *scratch* buffer. Most people didn't know
that you could just say `C-x b *scratch* RET' and it'd be created (with
the correct mode) just fine, so having something on `M-x scratch TAB'
for them to find is nice.
But complicating this by (optionally) prompting for a mode isn't
helpful. They can just say `M-x foo-mode' afterwards, and it's the same
amount of key strokes, I think.
