    Wouldn't the buffer list look prettier if the modified/read-only
    status were displayed to the left of the buffer names?  As of now, if
    the status is displayed (which is the default), the % and * mnemonics
    are not aligned.  I think if they were aligned at the left, it would
    look better.

It might be better.  Give it a try if you feel like.

    I agree, but it's not really possible to align them properly in a
    variable-width font.

They can be aligned if they are before the buffer names.
That might be a reason for putting them at the left.
