(2) Provide a user option `dabbrev-report-progress', true by default, to enable/disable this feedback. a progress reporter displays nothing until a certain threshold is reached (arg MIN-TIME to make-progress-reporter). you can avoid the need for (2) by setting a high enough MIN-TIME, perhaps 1.5 to two seconds. thi
