Yes, that's still the best way to put it, I think.

You're right.  It's the first input event read
as part of a key sequence - not the last such.

The larger point was that it is an input event
read as part of a key sequence.  But yes, you're
absolutely right that the text for
`last-nonmenu-event' needs more of a tweak than
the one I gave it.
