I don't understand. My patch doesn't prevent redisplay (which
will happen inside `detect_input_pending_run_timers').
In that case, is it redundant for sit_for to call
redisplay_preserve_echo_area? If initial_display is nonzero
and display is too, does it redisplay twice?
So is there any real objection to my suggested patch:
If the purpose is to prevent waiting, I tend to think
that is right. Most of the time, when commands wait,
it is to make a message easier to see. Inside a macro
I think it is better not to do that.
