So in this instance, defaulting `visible-bell' to "on" would make `C-g' more intrusive/obnoxious than previously... which is the opposite effect than what was originally discussed in this bug report.Can anything be done about that, though?I think this might point toward not doing anything about the default -- people who don't like beeps will switch them off on the OS level. That is, flipping the default will make `C-g' more intrusive for people who've already made a decision to ignore beeps.
Let's not venture into the xkcd.com/1172 territory, please. What we should be asking is which one is the better default.
