Avoid duplication in the header at beginning of buffer #4

Fixes #2

This is not perfect, because when we don't have anything to show in the header, it would be nicer to hide it altogether. But after experimenting with '(:eval ...) I couldn't figure out a way to achieve that.

I guess it could be done by dynamically setting header-line-format to nil, but then how would it get set back again? I guess maybe via pre-redisplay-functions or similar?

Thanks. :)

I think it might be better to not hide the header at BOB, because I guess that would cause buffer text to jump around an extra line.
