;;; Commentary:
;; There are 3 lists for the left, centre and right of the mode-line. They're
;; the same as mode-line-format in terms of general schema as they're fed
;; directly into that variable. Padding strings are automatically generated
;; based on these segments so be sure to set these.

"List of elements that should be on the right of the mode-line")
