Pretty much.  I was thinking of (setq need-to-replay-sequence t) instead.

To me it sounds a bit misleading since the replay does not happen during
the function call.  But `force-mode-line-update' does it like you
propose, so it's not that different.

Indeed, especially if it doesn't take any arguments ;-).
