Thanks for this. Here is my current `mode-line-format'
```
("%e" mode-line-front-space
mode-line-mule-info
mode-line-client
mode-line-modified
mode-line-remote
mode-line-frame-identification
mode-line-buffer-identification
sml/pos-id-separator
mode-line-position
(vc-mode vc-mode)
sml/pre-modes-separator
mode-line-modes
mode-line-misc-info
mode-line-end-spaces)
```
I do not want to disturb the defaults here. I just want to make sure
that date time is always displayed even if it means truncating the other
parts.
