For quite some time I've been using sml-modeline, it shows the window
position in a scrollbar-like manner in the modeline.

At the moment I am using nyan-mode instead.

But it also suffers from some problems it's not reaching 100%.

So, there are many options possible. And everyone wants something
different. So I'm not sure if this %o option would provide much added
value for many users?
