I'm finishing up a package to give easy and flexible management of imports
during initialization, and in using the package, I had a function that made
some settings
based on a user-specified help character or event.  Failures showed up in
the test cases that used more obscure events like M-S-f5,
and the nil eventp caused unexpected behavior. (I've since changed
my approach.)

That sounds reasonable to me.  It's not a critical issue.

Thanks for your help.
