I don't think this is the right solution. Asking the user to choose
which lighters to hide is just passing the buck.
Currently my mode lighter is
Message pab MML yas Helm Abbrev Fill Narrow
pab == pabbrev is my own abbrev mode, but diminished
MML == is attachement
yas == yasnippet diminished
Helm == Completion
Abbrev == Another abbrev expansion
Fill == auto fill.
Narrow == is narrowing
Of these, pab is global, so why show it? MML is only and always on with
message, so why show it (right click functionality is in the main menu)?
yas is always on, so why show it? Helm is always on. Abbrev, not sure
why it is on. Narrow, actually I don't know what is being hidden in
message -- it's certainly not user functionality.
Only "Fill" tells me anything useful, since I turn this on and off in
the same buffer, and "Message", since knowing the mode is good.
