I think there should be arguments MIN-CHANGE and MIN-TIME to specify how often to redisplay the percentage--for instance, I could specify 5 for MIN-CHANGE meaning "no less than 5% change", or 1.0 for MIN-TIME meaning no more than once per second. Aside from that, it looks clear, but there needs to be an explanation of the detailed format of the format of the `reporter' data structure. These functions would go in subr.el.
