There is an inconsistency in the operation :

set mode wrap  will put a "W" on the status line border
set mode cmode will put a "C" on the status line border & enable fence
               matching
set wrap 75    will give no indication, but will do the line wrap
set mode -wrap will turn off the "W", but leave wrap in operation.

By chance I had a session on just this topic last night, and intend to
mail Andy about it sometime.
