Wrt %q, I find the format to be too irregular. I'd prefer to stick to
"N-M%" (with no whitespace around the hyphen), even when N is 0 or M
is 100. The only exception to that format would be when N=0 _and_
M=100, in which case I'd prefer "All" rather than "0-100%". Also,
I'd like the whole text related to %q to take a constant amount of
space in the modeline, to avoid shifting any text to the right side of
%q.
Thanks.
