"Cursor" technically is just inverting certain pixels. Here is for example cursor over small letter j

It should work for any text size and it should work fast. I think implementing it as GIF animation would be overkill.

This would be a great idea for an extension. My team's not likely to implement something like this, and we're not in a place where we can accept a change that does it right now, so I'm going to link it up to #4000 and close it out.
