Many people who use Emacs with significant customization have their modeline
split into left and right aligned parts. I've also seen the Lisp code for this
in several packages. I think it would be useful to have this feature as a
%-construct so that the users who want it wouldn't have to install a package or
write custom Lisp that uses the `display' text property.
Everything after this construct would be aligned to the right. For example,
assuming the construct was %=, the mode-line-format
"l%=r"
would cause the modeline in a 20 character wide window to look like
l r
It could also be useful to generalize this to centering, though I've seen this
used less often. Then, the mode-line-format
"lllll%=c%=r"
would cause the modeline to look like
lllll c r
