I'd like to add a simple message to my mode line. Of course, I can
type for instance:
(setq mode-name (concat mode-name "foo-bar"))
but as mode-name is a variable and not a function, this works only for
the current buffer. How can I modify this line so that the message
keeps being displayed in all buffers when I stay in a particular mode
(and change the message from time to time )?

Look for `(:eval FORM)' in the Mode Line Data node of the Emacs Lisp manual.
