I just wanted to test if it was possible, and it seems so. Not
foolproof but useable for quick commands or inputs.
Code is here:

It looks very nice.

The idea is a sort of inverted to that package (don't remember name)
that uses minibuffer to display minimal modeline, and reduces modeline
just to a line.

What would the use-case be for reading from the mode line vs. using
the built-in utilities like `eval-expression`?

Font name?

No real use-case for now but it can be displayed on a per window
basis, on top (header-line) or bottom (mode-line).
