​Customizing mode-line-format won't help as the string to be modified is
embedded in the sub-variable, mode-line-position, which is a standard
variable not a customizable option.  So doesn't that mean there is no way
for a non-programming user to change the line-col display format and have
that change persist across Emacs releases without replicating the whole
definition of mode-line-position?
