BTW, an alternative approach can rely on `buffer-local-variables': just
stash away the value of all variables that are buffer-local, so you can
re-set them later.

The downside is that it won't enable the major/minor modes explicitly
upon restore, so the mode hooks won't be run, and some other state may
be missing (e.g. if a minor mode relies on a timer, the restore may
fail to re-start the timer).
