Placement can be changed in Lisp by redefining the function `minibuf-depth-setup-minibuffer'. And I can do this because I prefer putting this indicator to the end of the prompt by using after-string instead of before-string. > It can be added to the elisp version, of course.

Please note that the C version uses the same method of putting the overlay with the formatted indicator to the minibuffer prompt as the Lisp version. And if it interacts badly with your other eight minibuffer setup hooks, you are unable to fix this conflict with the hard-coded C version. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
