I guess what you want is to use execute-kbd-macro in an interactive
Emacs session.  Tho, currently it seems that execute-kbd-macro will end
up short-circuiting the redisplay (normally redisplay is called when we
call keyboard.c:read_char, but while inside a keyboard-macro this
function will return the next "key" immediately without getting to the
redisplay call).

I think it would be valuable to make such an execution mode available
(you can probably mimick it tolerably well by just adding explicit
(redisplay t) calls between each command).
