We do not disallow that, so could you be more specific in what you mean
by that?

Which defcustom?

Interesting idea. It might not even need a C-u: we could simply make
C-x b query the user for a major-mode when the buffer doesn't exist yet
(and we could try and take a hint from the buffer name to guess a good
default: e.g. looking for a major-mode name in the buffer name, or
matching the buffer name against auto-mode-alist).

I'm not married to "*scratch*", but "notes" sounds like something you'd
want to save, and "temp" sounds like something that might disappear
without warning.
