Perhaps this should be mentioned in the doc string of that function?

This function could grow a `mode-line-only' parameter (or value of ALL),
I guess.  Hm...  following the logic here isn't trivial.  Would setting
a new flag in the window object that'll make redisplay call
redisplay_mode_lines be a way to implement this?

Or just call it directly from (force-mode-line-update 'mode-line-only)?
