A very limited variant of redisplay, which only updates the echo-area.

It would make the prompt much slower, because updating the mode line
requires a very thorough redisplay, the way it is implemented.  And if
you on top of that change the mode-line face, Emacs will need to
recompute all the faces (twice) as well.  I wonder if it's worth it.
