If this variable is non-@code{nil}, pending input does not
prevent or halt redisplay; redisplay occurs, and finishes,
regardless of whether input is available.
@end defvar

@findex sit-for
  You can request a display update, but only if no input is pending,
with @code{(sit-for 0)}.  To force a display update even when input is
pending, use @code{(sit-for -1)}.

@defun redisplay &optional force
This function performs an immediate redisplay provided there are no
pending input events.  This is equivalent to @code{(sit-for 0)}.

If the optional argument @var{force} is non-@code{nil}, it forces an
immediate and complete redisplay even if input is available.
