Apologies, I appear to have completely failed to write a complete sentence here!

What I meant to say was:

I did this in my major mode hook, thinking that it would just add it to the 
current mode's hooks, but it seems to be a global hook. Other than putting in 
an "(if (eq major-mode 'scala-mode) ... )" type test in a lambda (outside of my 
major mode hook), is there any other way to set a buffer-local 
hack-local-variables-hook?
