 Two lighter entries in mode line when in global-visual-line-mode
Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 15:58:35 -0700

Doing `M-x global-visual-line-mode RET' results in both "vl" and "Wrap"
appearing in the mode line.  This is the result of the following form in
simple.el:

  (define-globalized-minor-mode global-visual-line-mode
    visual-line-mode turn-on-visual-line-mode
    :lighter " vl")

The docstring for `define-globalized-minor-mode' warns that it usually
makes no sense to pass it a :lighter argument, presumably to avoid
this very behavior.  Defining a `modified-global-visual-line-mode'
based on the above form but without the :lighter argument produces
expected behavior, i.e. "Wrap" alone.
