Indeed, that's why a comment is needed: the corresponding info is not
easy to find.

The corresponding parts would be:
1- the place where the C code (run via the Elisp code of
   force-mode-line-update) sets those vars.
2- the place in the C code where those vars are checked later on during
   redisplay so that they cause the mode-line to be refreshed.
