It's a constant size of a vector that records the keys in a cyclical
fashion. So it isn't enough to expose the value to Lisp; one must
also write code that reallocates the vector when the value changes,
and copies the keystrokes from the old to the new vector in the
correct order. Not rocket science, but still.
Patches are welcome.
