While you discuss the rest of the issue with Lars, just to point out
that the "?" is easy to get.
On 'emacs -Q':
(require 'flymake)
(setq flymake-start-on-flymake-mode nil)
Now visit an '*.el' file. Activate 'flymake-mode' and check the
modeline.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks again for your contributions!
