emacs: make cursor bar not block
Unlike in Vim, the cursor is never "on" something in Emacs, it's
always between characters. So the cursor shape should reflect that.

+*** Cursor
+The default box cursor isn't really accurate, because the cursor is actually between letters, not on a letter.
+So, I want a bar instead of a box:
