    Currently, term_init sets TS_cursor_visible to tgetstr("vs", address),
    which then gets used in set_terminal_modes().  We could probably add
    term_init_cursor() and arrange for it to be called twice, once with the
    default "vs" capability before the init file is loaded and once if the
    init file specifies something different later on.

Yes, it could be done.  It would not arrange to avoid touching the
cursor type at all, but it could set the cursor type back to ordinary.
