This simple library shows the current recursion level in the mode-line.
For example if you =enable-recursive-minibuffers= and enter
=M-x recursive-edit M-x recursive-edit M-x M-x M-x=, the modeline
indicator will show =[↲↲↲⟲⟲]=. This indicator is an alternative to the
brackets, Emacs shows by default around the modes, and to the counter
shown if =minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode= is activated.

If you are using =recursion-indicator= you might want to remove =%[= and
=%]= from =mode-line-modes= and disable
=minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode=.
