It would be nice to have as it indicates that multiple buffers are
opened and how many.

Agreed.  Knowing how many are open would definitely be useful
sometimes.

Getting rid of "File: " and "GNU nano $version" would also be nice,
even if via an option.

Getting rid of "File," also agreed.

+1

Okay, "File: " will go.

As for getting rid of "GNU nano $VERSION", I'd be more reluctant to
do
that, since it's more useful information (especially since features
change from release version to release version now).

I agree with Brand on this one. I don't think we normally need to have
the version info available on screen all the time. It is really easy to
access it via nano --version, so I think it's a good cleanup and
positive to use that space to present other more dynamic and useful
session info.

I will hang on to the "GNU nano x.y.z" a little longer.  First, because
I like it.  And second, because it's useful to me to be able to see all
the time which nano I am running, whether it is 2.8.7-git in one tab,
2.8.6 in another, or maybe 2.7.5 in still another tab.  (But agreed:
this is irrelevant for the average user.)

But... what other info would be useful to have onscreen continuously?
