As others have pointed out, it is more common to have a blinking bar
cursor when text is set to insert, and to use block cursor to indicate
overwrite mode for those applications that use a blinking cursor.
cua-mode already has code for changing the cursor based on whether we
are inserting or overwriting (or it did last time I looked), it might be
worth extracting the relevant code from there and turning it on by default.
I am not going to accept that idea. Bar cursors are too hard to see,
so I don't want the default Emacs mode to use them. (The default
Emacs editing mode is not overwriting.)
