2) I want to format the displayed expressions more tidily. In particular
I would like to show array slices and the header line would be a good
place to do this e.g.
------------main::a [start:end:step]---------------
Where start, end and step are in editable fields. Could emacs be given this
feature easily ?
Precisely what feature? If you mean editing in the header line,
that would rather hard. I can think of two possible methods:
* Allow a buffer to be used instead of a string, in a mode line element.
* Define a kind of mode line element that refers to a part of the
current buffer.
This would make it possible to have text in the header line (or the
mode line) which is part of a buffer. If point were in that buffer,
you would edit that text. To have point appear in the header line
instead of in the body of a window would require additional changes
which are probably harder in detail.
