  @end defvar
  
+ @defmac while-no-input body...
+ This construct runs the @var{body} forms and returns the value
+ of the last one---but only if no input arrives.  If any input
+ arrives during the execution of the @var{body} forms, it aborts
+ them (working much like a quit), and the @code{while-no-input}
+ form returns @code{nil}.
+ 
+ If a part of @var{body} binds @code{inhibit-quit} to address@hidden,
+ arrival of input during those parts won't cause an abort until
+ the end of that part.
