You only see that when the buffer is narrowed, itʼs
<(point-min)-(point-max)>. Iʼm not sure how useful it is.

Since weʼre now painting this bike-shed, hereʼs my preferred colour:

U+006F 'LATIN SMALL LETTER O' point=2938 of 2942 col=52

I think I could be persuaded that the (59%) stuff should be in there
as well, but thatʼs not a strongly held opinion.
