For functionality so widely and freely used in every corner of Emacs,
anything is "rare" in my book, except if it totally screws up Emacs
for almost everyone. input-pending-p is all over the place, so if it
were not "rare", we would be facing an outcry long ago.

Yes, it _is_ surprising. But if every surprising behavior will
necessarily lead to change in long entrenched behavior, Emacs will
never be stable.

I didn't say that problem shouldn't be solved. I didn't say we should
let users deal with this. So I find this remark unfair.
