Note that this method will be affected by narrowing. To get the full
number of lines in the buffer use (1+ (count-lines 1 (buffer-size))).
This could also get rather sluggish when used in large buffers. The
best way would probably be to use a timer to recalculate the number of
lines in the buffer and then use that.
