Well, ok. Scrolling is not the best idea. It should be able to use
multiple lines and wrap arround automatically, if the user wants.

I like long self-explanatory buffer names. And even if I cut down buffer
names to 10 chars it would still be inconvenient. The contents shouldn't
adapt to the mode line, it should be the other way round.
