In Vim's case, the signature would be something like

  def feedkeys(str, mode='m'):
    ...

where the 'mode' parameter specifies whether keystrokes should be
passed through the key-remapping functionality, and whether they
should be treated as typed or as a mapping-unit (which affects undo
behavior, whether each key is undoable, or if it's undone as a chunk)

Vim has the advantage that feedkeys() only has to deal with the keys
that Vim sees, which doesn't distinguish keydown/keyup events, or
the presses of modifier keys.

However, I suspect that they don't _also_ have a type() function to
dynamically determine the class of an object (or, if they do, it's
called something other than type() :-)
