Let's see, you're asking whether "non-essential = nil" means "performing
an essential task" or "performing a non-essential task"? Hmm... now
that's a difficult question which I wouldn't expect any Lisp coder to
be able to answer.

If you can't understand it, then just ignore it.

Emacs lived happily for more than 20 years without it, so I really have
no clue whatsoever what makes you think "it's this important".
