I'm not sure I understand the problem and the proposed solution. Are
we talking about having a spinning character, like | / - \, in the
mode lines of a window on TTY frames? If so, what are you trying to
save by "modifying the glyphs directly", and why do you think doing so
will produce some savings, as opposed to just update the mode line
normally?
