This is useful in the 'statusline' option or when used
with |remote_expr()| In most other places it always returns
"c" or "n".
+ Note that in the future more modes and more specific modes may
+ be added. It's better not to compare the whole string but only
+ the leading character(s).
Also see |visualmode()|.
