Why do you need a special function? For me, if I kill *scratch* and then switch back to it, it's set to lisp-interaction mode automatically.

@TikhonJelvis Ah, indeed. I have this function because it didn't do that in older versions (the change is from 21.2, which is not recent in absolute terms but more recent than the bulk of my .emacs).

Yeah. Emacs 21.2 was released around the time I first used a computer at all. That's a pretty large absolute difference ;).
