The association between file name extensions and major modes is stored in the
auto-mode-alist variable, which is not a buffer local variable and thus not
suitable to be used as a file or directory variable.
That is an abstract argument against it, there is also a practical argument:
auto-mode-alist is a global variable that is consulted by set-auto-mode, which
is run by normal-mode before it calls hack-local-variables/
hack-dir-local-variables.
What do you want to do?
