On the other hand, this seems like something that a mode-switching
mode should be prepared to deal with: rescuing buffer-local variables
across mode changes.  I mean, we'll lose RefTeX parsing info and other
stuff all the time, too.

(buffer-local-variables)

can be used for fetching stuff, and some function for restoring it, or
kill-local-variables gets flet to ignore during mode switches
completely, retaining both variable sets.
