I think it would be pretty invasive. It will make not just the desired
script, but ALL CursorHold events, to fire without end. I imagine some
plugins rely on the fact that CursorHold only fires once after cursor
inactivity, though I don't know any specific ones. Most likely this
will only cause inefficiencies, doing work multiple times instead of
just once, but there might be cases where it actually screws things up.
