I patched blink-cursor to keep the cursor on during activity by
comparing current-time to last-input-time as the .5-second blink timer
fires. But the 1-second resolution of last-input-time causes the
cursor to stay on for up to 1.5 seconds after the last keystroke,
instead of the .5 - 1 second it should be. Probably no one but me will
ever notice this. Pretty silly.
