[screen-devel] Why not nonblock by default?

Does anyone know, is there any particular reason why we don't make
nonblock the default? It's an annoyance to users when a display gets
hung and any windows connected with it get stuck, especially since
novice users are unlikely to realize that "nonblock 1" won't affect the
buggered display, and may not think to do C-a : at % nonblock on

I'd like to propose that the default value for defnonblock be changed
from "off" to something like, I dunno, 8 ? Or lower, if there's no
particular reason why we shouldn't.
