The way that lossage now shows different commands on different lines is
really useful, but I found a way where it's not treating two different
things as different commands. To reproduce:

emacs -Q

open the scratch buffer

insert this whole s-expression:

(read-char)

Then, with point at the end of that line, type:

C-x C-e a C-h l

This evaluates the (read-char) sexp which reads the `a` typed, then
views lossage.

The last lines of lossage are:

 C-x C-e [eval-last-sexp]
 a C-h l [view-lossage]

Note that the log line calling view-lossage also includes "a", the
command read by read-char. I would expect the lossage buffer to be
something like this:

 C-x C-e [eval-last-sexp]
 a [char read by read-char]
 C-h l [view-lossage]

This does not happen with read-string; one gets logs like:

 C-x C-e [eval-last-sexp]
 p [self-insert-command]
 a [self-insert-command]
 n [self-insert-command]
 t [self-insert-command]
 s [self-insert-command]
 <return> [exit-minibuffer]
 C-h l [view-lossage]

I noted this when viewing lossage after calling org-agenda, which I
think uses read-char to get a character to dispatch on. However, I'm not
sure; the package is too complicated for me to track down how it's
reading the character. The same behavior happens when calling read-char,
so it might be the same thing.
