Dan> Huh? Please explain this.
He is saying that when you start an async command, you want to give
the user some indication is has started; and then when the command
finishes, Emacs should give an indication that it has finished.
That seems fairly uncontroversial to me.
However, I think the most likely cause of "flickering" would be the
pcvs-like in-buffer notification, which got nixed. Messages in the
echo area seem much less likely to be problematic.
