bug#47835: Wishlist: New footer line immediately above the mode line |

Severity: wishlist
It would be useful to have a footer line that would work like the header
line but was at the bottom instead, immediately above the mode line.
It could be used to display information associated with a buffer without
having to overwrite the mode line. The mode line contains useful
information that one might not want to hide.
One use-case for this would be `list-packages', where the header line is
already used for tabulation, but one might want to display extra
information such as the number of installed packages. There exists
third-party packages that adds such information to the mode line, but
that risks hiding other information (depending on your customization,
window width, etc.).
I would propose to introduce a new variable `footer-line-format' in
analogy with `header-line-format' for this.
