> If FORMAT is `nil', that means to use `mode-line-format'
This does not seem to make sense because if header-line-format is nil
then (format-mode-line header-line-format) will presumably return the
mode-line of selected window as a string.
...
I suggest changing format-mode-line so that FORMAT is not optional and not
give a special meaning to nil and t. I think format-mode-line is currently
always used with a value for FORMAT. If this is a good idea, I offer to do
it and post my patch here.
The argument above seems convincing, so please do.
