I love view-lossage. How often do You use C-x <esc> <esc> which shows elisp for what ya just did? Eg, switch buffer then try it.

Oh, I didn't even know about that! That's great!

Also, it reads straight from command-history variable (another thing I didn't know about). You can preview and browse it via C-h v command-history. Or, write your own elisp operating on it (perhaps interactively, by IELM - the elisp REPL).
