Does anyone recall where these "character injections" come from?  ISTR
that these no longer happen...  Maybe this is a reference to the code
deleted here:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=2b0a91e78f83fb446cc38efb99399e83ad2cded3
(as seen, e.g., in Bug#32438)

Also, both "process-send-region" and "process-send-string" (in master)
claim to split their process input if it is longer than 500
/characters/ (not bytes) -- but reading through the code in process.c,
it's not clear where (or if) this still happens.
