;;; Commentary:

;; Things we cannot emulate in Lisp:
;; It is not possible to emulate current-mouse-event as a variable,
;; though it is not hard to obtain the data from (this-command-keys).

;; We do not have a variable unread-command-event;
;; instead, we have the more general unread-command-events.

;; Our read-key-sequence and read-char are not precisely
;; compatible with those in Lucid Emacs, but they should work ok.

;;; Code:
