This is a quick display showing if the file is writeable, not sure who
provides it, but almost all editors do it.
For source controls like perforce(?) that leave all files read-only
until you lock them this may be of value, but I certainly have never
used it.

This is insert vs override as changed by the Insert key too. Of course
the cursor also changes so having status bar space allocated to it is
a bit overboard perhaps.
Many standalone text editors have similar info to the above in their
status bars.
