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: https://gist.github.com/rougier/f9f8515c8fe91d41a049d50c448408dd

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).
