Okay.

Now... what shall we call the option?  --scrollbar does not seem
right, because it is not actually a scroll bar: you cannot click
on it and drag it around to scroll through the buffer.

('tilde' has a real scroll bar: you can drag it to scroll, and
click above or below it to page up or down.)

So... I'm thinking of --indicator and 'set indicator'.  Short
option: -q.  Any other suggestions?
