I don't have a strong opinion. Others? Using mode-line-string seem
better, though.
Perhaps this could be discussed more generally, on emacs-devel? It
seems define-derived-mode could define the variable
MODE-mode-line-string that default to the NAME parameter. That would
be cleaner, and would have the same as your patch for several modes.
