There are other functions that use modify-frame-parameters like
set-cursor-color, set-mouse-color, etc.  And why not to add
set-cursor-type too?  The only difference is that there is
a buffer-local variable cursor-type, but no cursor-color.

This is an addition rather than a change.  People might want to use it
instead of (setq cursor-type ...).
