What I mean is - as a platform (and, conceivably, Renderable) grows in
sophistication, there will be fewer and fewer RenderableLists that
contain only unoptimisable Renderables. So what I mean by “no-op”
is that post_renderables_if_optimizable() will end up always returning
true.

Particularly since the cursor is one of those Renderables.
