I'd rather have an optional variable if this is something that should be
controlled.
But I'm not sure we want to. The original example was:
(read-char-choice " a - good\n b - bad\n c - ugly" '(?a ?b ?c))
But that's an ugly prompt in itself. If it's amended to
(read-char-choice " a - good\n b - bad\n c - ugly: " '(?a ?b ?c))
then it's fine showing the cursor. (And that's a prompt should look.)
