Which is *exactly* what automatic crosshairs-when-idle highlighting does, as I
reported earlier.
The cursor position is shown with cross-the-window crosshairs, but only after an
idle delay and only until you are no longer idle.
It's simple to try it, to see. And the code is easy to understand, if you want
to do something different but similar using a timer.
Just load the code and `M-x toggle-crosshairs-when-idle':
