;; Defines the minor mode `minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode'.
;;
;; When active, any recursive use of the minibuffer will show
;; the recursion depth in the minibuffer prompt.  This is only
;; useful if `enable-recursive-minibuffers' is non-nil.

;;; Code:

(defvar minibuffer-depth-indicator-function nil
  "If non-nil, function to set up the minibuffer depth indicator.
It is called with one argument, the minibuffer depth,
and must return a string.")

;; An overlay covering the prompt.  This is a buffer-local variable in
;; each affected minibuffer.
;;
(defvar minibuffer-depth-overlay)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'minibuffer-depth-overlay)

;; This function goes on minibuffer-setup-hook
(defun minibuffer-depth-setup ()
  "Set up a minibuffer for `minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode'.
The prompt should already have been inserted."
