There are days when I'd like to throw Vim at the wall.

:set stl=%f%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will have a status line like

README.md •

with the bullet point (•) if the file is modified.

:set stl=%{fnamemodify(expand('%%:p'),':~:.')}%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will eat the space before the bullet point for some reason.

All I did is replace %f with the %{…} expression.

This happens both in #Vim 9.0.1378 and #Neovim 0.7.2, and also if I replace • with any other character.

Ideas, anyone?
