No, we don't want a richer set of indicators -- a user requested being
allowed to customise it (to remove stuff from it), and I tried to do
that via the `format-spec' machinery.

But that can't be used, since display_mode_element requires us to return
a complex list that it re-interprets instead of being able to just give
it a string that it'll display.
