That would be misleading.

(list :last-command-event last-command-event
      :last-input-event last-input-event
      :last-nonmenu-event last-nonmenu-event
      (read-key-sequence "Key seq: ")
      :last-command-event last-command-event
      :last-input-event last-input-event
      :last-nonmenu-event last-nonmenu-event)
; C-x C-e =>
(:last-command-event 5 :last-input-event 5 :last-nonmenu-event 5
 "\^C\^C"
 :last-command-event 5 :last-input-event 3 :last-nonmenu-event 3)
