- There's a variable bar-cursor which makes the cursor be a (very thin and ugly)
- bar cursor, but it doesn't really work any more. I encourage someone to debug
- it and make it pretty...

- I think that bar cursors are bad because they're hard to see. The advantage
- of having a big block covering a character, even though it's only the left
- edge of that block that is significant, is that it's easy to locate the cursor
- without having to hunt for it.
