Maybe not auto-mode-alist, but an extended form of magic-mode-alist.
I often create "untitled" buffers to be saved later, and they start out in my default mode.
Or, I edit some shell script that doesn't have a file name extension, so the major mode isn't set initially.
After the first few lines, wouldn't it be nice if magic-mode-alist was applied (if reliable!) and changed the major mode?
We don't want an MS Word Paperclip ("You seem to be writing a letter!"), but some major modes are recognized reliably.
