I know. But it is not there, so it's difficult to understand how would
the elisp version (as it stands) be more configurable that the C one.

That's a bit of a cheat, isn't? For the same reason you can say that
the C version is equally configurable: just don't set
`minibuffer-depth-indicator', and hack something for
`minibuffer-setup-hook'...

The C version happens after the hook is run.
