Good (I'd have used nil rather than t, but it doesn't matter).

I wonder if the default shouldn't be "infinite delay", so as to preserve
existing behavior?

I think the only valid reason to disable the help-char here is if it
prevents access to an existing register.  So we can get rid of this
custom var and instead make sure we only obey help-char if there is no
existing register by that name.
