Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 It's not quite clear why the `table_view_mode` filter is only applied in:

 * `WP_Screen::render_view_mode()`
 * `WP_List_Table::get_table_classes()`
 * `WP_Posts_List_Table::get_table_classes()`

 but not in other places whether the mode is referenced.

 Is that enough for the mode switching to work as expected on all affected
 tables? Is there enough context for the filter?

 I also agree with comment:30 that the `wp_table_view_modes` name might be
 better suited for a filterable list of modes, rather than an action that
 fires after the core's default modes.
