[Suggestion]  You know the "%%" in the mode line meaning "read-only
buffer".  Well, what if you make one of your already-modified buffers
("**",) read-only?  Then that buffer's mode line ought to have "*%"
(like the output of list-buffers (C-x C-b)), not "%%", which should
now just mean a non-modified read-only buffer.
