I have no interest whatsoever in the load average or whether I have
mail, but it would be nice to have the time displayed in the mode
line.

Is there any way to make display-time display only the time? I looked
in the manual and can't find anything to that effect.

IMHO, the function should be called "sysline", since that's what it
seems to be modeled after. I'd expect something called "display-time"
to display just the time.
