That's true -- and if it was purely a work-around, then I'd see no
problems with adding the variable.  But in this case, we're talking
about allowing customising the line width of the hollow cursor, which
sounds like something that people might find useful in general.

And I'd really prefer to have that work consistently across all
(significant) platforms.
