However, I don't feel comfortable to decide whether we shall install such a change in the modeline. The code looks clean enough, and the feature could be useful. We can spare one character. Before deciding on it, I'd like to see reports from some users about whether they find it useful. I wonder whether "R" could sometimes get confused with the frame identification. Usually the frame name won't start with R, but it can. Maybe this indicator should appear in a different place in the mode line. Before we install this, the changes to the manuals should be written so they can be installed at the same time.
