Run `C-x C-e' on (self-insert-command 1) and (this-command-keys).

[Hongyi Zhao]

`C-x C-e (this-command-keys)' will give the following in *Messages* buffer:

"  ^X^E "

`C-x C-e (self-insert-command 1)' will give the following in-situ:

(self-insert-command 1)^E

But why doesn't it give the following:

(self-insert-command 1)^X^E
