FWIW - It's fine with me if this isn't added to Emacs, or if you trim part of it out and add only some of it. I really don't care. It will still be available on Emacs Wiki, for anyone who really wants it. For the record, I got the idea from Juri. Perhaps he got it from CUA mode; I don't know. Personally, I find it useful. In particular, being able to use a bar cursor for editing, but having it switch to a box cursor temporarily after an idle period, helps me locate the cursor again. Others are welcome to feel differently. Either way, I think it's a minor feature - hardly worth all the pyrotechnic entertainment. ;-)
