It is intended to be an option turn off all "extra features".
On what criterion are these features "extra"?
But most important, running emacs -Q when debugging redisplay problems
makes it much easier to know what's going on.
Why does the blinking cursor relate to this?
Just because we cannot find a long name for it -- that's silly, IMO!
The difficulty in finding a long name for it reflected a lack of
apparent coherence of the functionality of the option. Nobody
could see what it was good for. That is why I thought of removing
it or changing it.
