Yes, that could be a way, but I think we first have to think about how,
when and which buffer local variables should survive moving between
chunks with different major modes. I have thought about three different
cases:

- Buffer local variables that should never survive moving between chunks
with different major modes.

- Those that always should survive (but be killed when switching major
modes when mumamo is not used).

- Those that will be killed when moving to a chunk with a different
major mode, but will be resurrected when point again reaches a chunk
with the same major mode. (They are what I call "per major mode".)
