You mean something like this?
/* Bind inhibit-quit to t so that C-g gets read in
rather than quitting back to the minibuffer. */
int count = SPECPDL_INDEX ();
specbind (Qinhibit_quit, Qt);
timer_start_idle ();
sit_for (Vminibuffer_message_timeout, 0, 2);
timer_stop_idle ();
Yes, except does it need timer_stop_idle?
It is going to read input straightaway after.
I don't really see why it's important (it's currently just a two
second pause in which idle timers don't run), and I don't know the
code well enough to know if it will break anything horribly.
It isn't tremendously important, but it seems correct for Emacs'
idleness to begin when the command finishes.
If you see a risk, I don't insist on doing this now.
How about if you install it in the unicode-2 branch?
to be idle as soon as
