So how about setting visible-bell to t by default in Emacs 28? This
behavior was called "barbaric" by Chong Yidong in 2008, and the
situation hasn't improved since.
I think that sounds like a good idea, but does visible-bell look nice on
all systems, or are there major differences?
I attach two screenshots, one on Debian GNU/Linux, the other one on macOS.
IMO, the default behavior on GNU/Linux (inverting video on the first and
last line of the frame) is horrible (but perhaps less so than an actual
bell), and the default behavior on macOS is too intrusive (but again
perhaps less so than an actual bell).
Perhaps a nicer way to do this is possible, e.g. make the background of
the minibuffer (which is what the user is invited to look at) yellow or
red (unless it's already yellow or red).
