The WRAP functionality of the status line is annoying for those who have 'wrap' on all the time

The default status line has a functionality for showing WRAP next to the mode name when 'wrap' is on. I figure that this is intended to be helpful when you often switch the setting, but I don't think most Neovim users do that. I personally always have 'wrap' on and the indicator is completely redundant. I understand that I could just copy the default config and remove the line, but I'm questioning if it should be included in the default in the first place. I don't think it's generally useful, since you can usually easily tell if 'wrap' is on by looking at the screen. The same applies to SPELL for people who use it.

Hmmm. That seems like a valid point. I'll sleep on it and return to it tomorrow. Thanks.

I think you are right here. These options are used in default purely because I tend to use them on and off regularly. I'll think about the most proper way to display them (custom "option" section or just documenting the way) and remove them from default statusline.

Great. Thinking about it, what if there was a way to modify the default config without having to copy the whole thing into your code? Would that be needlessly complex?

Yeah, I thought about it and experimented a bit. It feels that enough flexibility (change sections, their highlighting, their truncation width) comes with at least the same amount of configuration code as the default function. Enabling only some of parts to be configured is indeed unnecessary complexity when with only around 20 lines of code user can own the full statusline content.

Just removed those sections from default content in favor of using custom documented code snippets. Thank you for the suggestion.
