Ah, I misunderstood what you meant here -- I thought you wanted to
change my patch to call display_string on the result from
Fformat_mode_line, and then alter the glyph matrix. :-/
But, yes, what you're saying makes total sense -- rendering the mode
line as normal, and then changing the glyphs to remove the spaces would
be more efficient and create less garbage.
I didn't think this extra garbage on mode line updates didn't matter
much, especially since `mode-line-compact' would be a user option
defaulting to nil.
