Even for self-insert-command, I can easily know whether the command
started or not, because I have garbage-collection-messages turned on.
And many commands do include user interaction. "C-x C-f" and "C-x b"
come to mind. They are very frequent in my use patterns, and
typically one of them happens after some amount of idle time, so idle
timers kick in. As result, I needed to tune several long-running idle
timers. I'd hate to see GC becoming one of them.
