Subject: bug#15045: Point jumps inappropriately around time of Semantic lexing

I care because if I don't have a positive reason to keep this call to
sit-for I'm going to remove it.

Thanks.  So as far as you know it's not any more useful than adding
sit-for at the end of any other function.

No disagreement here.  This bug report just made me bump into this
tangentially related call to sit-for which I'll be happy to remove.
