Often I can't instantly recall what number belong to what in the
format (LL,CC), so I need to type C-f a few times and see what number changes.
Maybe this confusion arises from the fact that currently numbers are
displayed in the order reverse to usual, where the first number in
a pair of coordinates corresponds to the x-axis (Columns), and second -
to the y-axis (Lines).

I think it would be good to save more precious space in the modeline:
to use 8 instead of 12 for the minimum length of the buffer name,
to use 5 instead of 10 for the minimum length of line-number and column-number,
to remove extra space between mode-line-position and mode-line-modes.
