Don't quite know, except that there really isn't much reason to
turn it off because of an error...
I did that to fix a really disastrous bug
which led to a loop getting errors.
Does it really make sense for input-pending-p to run timers?
That is a good point. Logically speaking, input-pending-p should not
run timers, since it does not wait.
It runs timers because of a change I made in 1996. I went to a
certain amount of trouble to make this possible, so I must have
intended this result. But I don't remember why.
It could be that correctly testing for whether input is pending
requires, in some cases, running the timers. But that is only
a guess. Does anyone know that code well enough to figure out
whether this is true?
We could just turn this off and see.
