D'oh.  I was thinking it was OK to require the user to set those
variables before loading the file mode-line-position is defined in, but
that file is preloaded in Emacs.  :-/

OK, so this needs a rethink...  mode-line-position precomputes some bits
presumably because it doesn't want to create a lot of garbage from the
`propertize' calls...  Hm...  OK, I think I see how to be make as little
garbage as before, but allow those variables to be taken into account
dynamically.

It'll even make the code shorter, I think.
