1. Emacs -Q
2. eval
(put 'x 'risky-local-variable t)
(setq x '(:eval (propertize "x" 'help-echo (message "Wow"))))
(push '("" x) global-mode-string)
3. Move point around and check how many Wow's are printed in *Messages*
buffer
The form (message "Wow") is eval'd each time mode-line is updated even
though one didn't move mouse over the 'x' string on the mode-line.
If the help-echo property is a function, it is only called when one
moves the mouse over 'x'.
Why this difference?
