Thanks.

So we have 2 alternatives:

  . declare that flickering on alacritty is currently a known problem,
    and wait till Someone comes up with the proper solution for Emacs;
  . add that variable I mentioned above, and let users try to fix the
    problem with alacritty by flipping it.

TBH, given your description, I'm no longer sure a simple boolean
variable that disables insert/delete-line optimization will do, since
the issue seems to be a much more general one.  How sure are we that
some other scenario of redrawing a TTY frame won't cause similar
flickering regardless of the insert/delete-line feature?  So maybe
just document the issue in PROBLEMS and advise against using
alacritty?
