I have a function that is installed on after-change-functions, and which tries to detect whether the change that triggered it is a user-invoked character insertion and thus of interest. But if the change was done by a process filter (in particular gnuserv-process-filter -> gnuserv-eval), examining this-command, last-command-event, and/or the result of (this-command-keys) is completely unreliable because the process filter runs independently of the command loop. It might be nice if Emacs temporarily bound all the command loop info variables to nil while it runs the process filters. But since it doesn't seem to, how can I detect that situation?
