Quit within sit-for

[Stefan Monnier]

In your recent change to minibuffer.el you added:

        ;; A quit during sit-for should be (re-)read as
        ;; abort-recursive-edit
        (inhibit-quit t))

Other than the lack of "." at the end of the sentence, I'm worried that
if this fixes a bug, the bug is a lot more widespread.  But I must say
I don't understand the comment.

The comment seems to say that C-g within the sit-for be "(re-)read"
differently than if it had been typed at some other time.  Is that
really what your change is about?  If so, that sounds wrong (the
sit-for is only a display artifact and should ideally in no way
influence Emacs's behavior).

Or is it that without your change Emacs does behave differently within
the sit-for than outside of it and your change tries to bring the two
behaviors a bit closer to each other?
