I suggest you use a nil timeout in Emacs≥27. If this reveals there are
still remaining bugs, we should fix them rather than work around them.
If the bugs have all been fixed already, then maybe we could also use
a nil timeout in older Emacsen, but we've lived with 0.1 in them, so
I think it's OK to keep using a suboptimal value there.
