In .../lisp/follow.el{.gz} `follow-mode-line-text' is defined but not used.  Also, the `follow-mode' minor-mode does not define a lighter.

My expectations, in order of preference:

1) Use the variable to define a lighter for `follow-mode', e.g.:

--- follow.el	2017-02-03 10:25:44.000000000 +0000
+++ enlightened-follow.el	2017-09-18 14:53:15.000000000 +0100

2) Define a lighter for `follow-mode', but don't use `follow-mode-line-text'; remove definition of `follow-mode-line-text'.

3) Leave `follow-mode' without a lighter; remove definition of `follow-mode-line-text'.
