But this would be possible if you ditched the modeline and minibuffer entirely and put them all in a semi-permanent gutter. Alternatively you could have a fifth gutter that sat below the minibuffer. I guess if we made native edit fields behave like buffers (Ben thinks this is easy) then putting the minibuffer somewhere more arbitrary would be straightforward.
