The docstring for `mode-line-format' does not link to
`default-mode-line-format', and there's no way to find it from looking
at the help for `mode-line-format' because the source link for
`mode-line-format' is to a C source file, which is probably not even
installed and even if it were contains no information about the default
value.
Basically, this is a suggestion to include "`default-mode-line-format'"
somewhere in the docstring, preferably near the top.
