How do you suggest to arrange for a low-level keyboard interface to
know which kind of Emacs command attempted to read the keyboard?

Moreover, what about type-ahead?  When Emacs is busy, the user can
type quite a lot of commands, and the keyboard processing cannot know
at that point which Emacs commands will actually read those queued
keys.

IOW, I don't understand how to use your hypothesis, even if it is
true, in practice.
