Here's one small simplification to the mode-line that we can easily
introduce: define a variable mode-line-help-echo, which serves as the
default help echo for any mode-line element not having its own
help-echo.
Now, bindings.el won't need to manuall apply the default help-echo to
"neutral" mode-line elements like spaces. This makes the value shown in
`C-h v mode-line-format' less of a mess:
Value:
("%e-" mode-line-mule-info mode-line-client mode-line-modified mode-line-remote
mode-line-frame-identification mode-line-buffer-identification " "
mode-line-position
(vc-mode vc-mode)
" " mode-line-modes
(which-func-mode
("" which-func-format "--"))
(global-mode-string
("" global-mode-string "--"))
"-%-")
Do you think that helps?
