I also have a same opinion as Drew. Hiding minor mode lighters is very
subjective. You might find a particular mode lighter as useless but someone
else might be wanting that. So I would also leave it up to the users on
which lighters they want to hide.

A library can of course choose not to have a lighter for some

The rich-minority package in GNU Elpa (
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/rich-minority.html ) is basically this:
Allows the user to hide the lighters they want AND also modify them to
their liking.
I do not like the extra spacing between the lighters and I choose each
lighter to be just one character (regular or unicode) (or 2 at max).
So I have this ( http://i.imgur.com/bHmMU1N.png ) using rich-minority.
