No problem with the delay.  Thanks for confirming that it works.

Now we have to find a better name to describe what it really does.
Probably it should have the prefix "no-" since it makes no pause
like the existing two values 'no' and 'no-ding':

  :type '(choice (const :tag "Pause before wrapping" t)
                 (const :tag "No pause before wrapping" no)
                 (const :tag "No pause and no flashing" no-ding)
                 (const :tag "Disable wrapping" nil))

This raises the question: should it ding and flash on wrapping?
Or two new separate values are needed: one to ding when wrapping
on typing a character, and another not to ding?  To ding, or not to ding?
