recognize @kbd{C-g} while a command is running, between interactions

@findex keyboard-quit
@kbd{C-g} works by setting the variable @code{quit-flag} to @code{t}
actually executed as a command if you type it while Emacs is waiting for
input. In that case, the command it runs is @code{keyboard-quit}.
- If you quit with @kbd{C-g} a second time before the first @kbd{C-g} is
