Idle timers are the interface provided exactly for cases like yours.
Manipulating `unread-command-events' is the hack.

The difference?  The second option is guaranteed to hurt if you choose
to use it for a second time.  Of course, only after you had forgotten
about the first use.

Accumulate such things in your setup and get crazy.  That's it.
