Ok but I don't quite understand how unread-command-events works. For
instance, if I put this code into `read-passwd':
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq-local unread-command-events
(mapcar #'(lambda (x) (cons 'no-record x))
(listify-key-sequence "mypassword")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It will prefilled (and not recorded) at prompt with "mypassord" but I'd
like to be able to type the real password that I don't know in
advance. In `read-passwd', the password is read with `read-string' that
is C codeā¦ Anyway, can someone explain what is the purpose (and usage)
of unread-command-events?

I was not aware of this code. But yes, maybe we should do that.
Thanks.
