Shouldn't it be the user choice? (the choice: blink between filled box
and hollow box or blink between filled box and blank).
Is this user option really necessary? We should not add a new user
option just because its definition is meaningful and *someone* might
want it, because that would make Emacs even more bloated. We have to
*try* to keep the growth of user options in check, by adding only
those that are substantially important--those that we expect
more than a few users would want.
