Yes.  But the change you propose is in readable_events, a function
that has many more callers than just input-pending-p.  In particular,
one of its callers is kbd_buffer_get_event, which is the API through
which Emacs reads all of its input.  And now, under some
circumstances, that API will ignore some events.  That's scary, at
least for me.

No, that must be a variable exposed to Lisp, so users could fiddle
with it without rebuilding.
