echoing of e-acute by C-x 8 ' e

echoing of e-acute by C-x 8 ' e

[Kenichi Handa]

When I type C-x 8 ' e slowly while seeing the echoing of key
strokes, e-acute is inserted and that character is also
echoed.  Is it an exepceted behaviour?  Could someone
explain why it is echoed?

Because that's the character you have been "typing", since C-x 8 ' e is
replaced by é through key translations, ie., this is what
last-command-event ends up with.

Oops!  I was reading iso-insert.el, but actually C-x 8
... is implemented in iso-transl.el by using
key-translation-map.

Hmmm, then, it seems that iso-insert.el is now obsolote.
Even if I load iso-insert.el, I can't run the commands
insert-XXXX defined in iso-insert.el because C-x 8 ' e, and
etc are eaten by key-translation-map,
