OK, thanks.

A couple questions:

Why do you need "(when enable" in ruler--save-header-line-format,
which causes this warning

  ruler-mode.el:562:9:Warning: reference to free variable `enable'

when ruler--save-header-line-format is only called once, like so

  (when enable
     (ruler--save-header-line-format))

?

Also, the docstring for r--s-h-l-f says

"Install the header line format for Ruler mode.
Unless if Ruler mode is already enabled, save the old header line
format first."

Shouldn't that be s/Unless if/Unless/?
