ShieldCursor would be used if you had a text section and wanted the cursor
hidden while the user was entering text (no need to have it around at that time
possibly).

Or if you were about to do a screen dump and didn't want the cursor to obscure
details of the image.

Or maybe it is an action arcade stile game and you don't need a cursor getting
in the way of the animation until needed (or even during a sequence of images
for a movie perhaps)

Just a few thoughts.
