unread-command-events always nil?

[D. Goel <deego@glue.umd.edu>]

unread-command-events always seems to be nil[1], both in emacs21.2 as
well as in CVS.

	[1] Or am I confused using a wrong variable for trying to
	access the pending events?  If so, what is the right one to
	use?

As an example, please look at this code below (in emacs -q
-no-site-file), Go to end, press C-x C-e, and then press some
keystrokes (rapidly).  Wait 6 seconds, for emacs to output the 2 lines
unread-command-events.  Both of them have their first field as nil
(though there were clearly inputs pending when they were outputted..).


(progn
  (discard-input)
  (sleep-for 3)
  (insert
   (format "%S,%S,%S" unread-command-events last-input-event 
	(input-pending-p)))
  (sleep-for 3)
  
  (insert 
   (format "\n%s,%S,%S" unread-command-events last-input-event 
	   (input-pending-p))))
