Re: cc-mode bug: last-command-event is not a character

I just tried updating to the latest set of packages. Now c-electric-pound in cc-mode is broken. If I hit '#', I get:

(wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p #<keypress-event # 0xb7a>) insert(#<keypress-event # 0xb7a>) (let ((pos ...) (bolp ...)) (beginning-of-line) (delete-horizontal-space) (insert last-command-event) (and (not bolp) (goto-char ...))) (if (c-save-buffer-state nil (or arg ... ... ... ... ...)) (self-insert-command (prefix-numeric-value arg)) (let (... ...) (beginning-of-line) (delete-horizontal-space) (insert last-command-event) (and ... ...))) c-electric-pound(nil) call-interactively(c-electric-pound)

I think the

(insert last-command-event)

in that function should really be:

(insert (event-key last-command-event))

Furthermore, there are many comparisons of last-command-event against a character in cc-cmds.el and cc-align.el. Those will always be false, as they are objects of different types. I think that last-command-event needs to change to (event-key last-command-event) universally in those two files.
