Optional or subtler statusbar

Description
As far as I can tell, the statusbar only shows my line and column number, which I actually do not care about much (if at all) the vast majority of the time. Thus I find it a hefty price to pay to have 10 pixels of my whole laptop screen's width eaten at all times.
An ideal approach would be some sort of floating statusbar/bubble in the corner like Nautilus and Epiphany do, or maybe just throw those statistics into the titlebar, or, worst case scenario, give me a toggle option in the View menu to turn off the statusbar :)
