Cursory ultimately applies configurations to variables such as
'cursor-type' and 'blink-cursor-delay'. Whereas Fontaine changes the
typographic attributes of faces like 'default' and 'fixed-pitch'. By
"typographic attributes", I mean the ':family', ':height', ':weight'.

I think it is better to keep the two feature sets separate. It makes
things easier to maintain and more straightforward to document. I can,
however, update the documentation in each package to reference the
other.
