C-h v last-command RET
That would appear to be of only passing relevance. It is considerably
easier to keep track of a list of interactive functions (commands)
than it is to sort out the list of all functions that have run, and
separate them into "user-visible" and not-user-visible. But
`command-history' has an infrastructure that could be used, I'm sure.
On Thomas's "AI" - how about just screening out the functions that
overlap with Common Lisp, and a list of other built-in functions
(`goto-char', etc.) that aren't likely to do anything particularly
interesting in and of themselves.
And in terms of "volunteering", someone should produce a
`last-function' command (maybe 100 entry array would be enough for
testing purposes :)), then a bunch of people could collaborative on a
list of functions to filter out. A wiki could be used to generate
that list...
I'm pretty sure I've already seen something closer to `last-function'
than `last-command', but I don't remember what it is.
