Yes, I've been thinking about it for a few days, now.

I think what we could do with is a function `auto-mode' which, given a
file name, would return the corresponding major mode as recorded in
auto-mode-alist.  At the moment, this functionality is a part of
set-auto-mode, making it more difficult for other functions to do the
same thing.  It shouldn't be difficult.
