Sorry, it appears I didn't make my use case very clear. What you are
speaking of is clocking into a task, and indeed that does show up on the
modeline.
What I am after is more of a overview of "How many total TODO tasks do I
have", ideally with some function to limit or match based on tag.
Something like this in the modeline:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
[Work: 3/10 Home: 2/20]
^--- Total number of TODOs in home.org
^------ Total number of TODOs due today in home.org
#+END_EXAMPLE
That way I have a constant reminder of the number of things left without
having to pull up the agenda.
