When inside a (with-cursor ...) form, the variable *with-cursor* is bound to the mouse cursor that is currently being used globally (globally meaning used everywhere regardless of which lisp window the mouse is over) within the with-cursor form. An application could check the value of this variable to see if the app is currently inside a with-cursor at all (if the variable is non-nil) and if so what mouse cursor is being used globally by with-cursor.
This variable should not be set by an application.
