Re-display symon only if there is no pending user input required #23

I face this issue that symon aggressively re-displays even when emacs is wating for some input from a user in the echo area.

Example: When I try to quit emacs, I get this question in the echo area:

This emacs session has clients; exit anyways? (y or n)

But if I wait for a second or two, symon displays come back and overwrites that question even before I respond with y or n.

Do you consider this as a bug? If not, can you provide an option so that symon display is held off as long as some user input is pending in the echo area?

Thanks for reporting. symon is not redisplayed while a minibuffer is active, but y-or-n-p actually does not use minibuffers to read user inputs so symon was redisplayed. Now symon checks whether the cursor is in the echo area.
