I am wondering if insn sheets these functions read include comments, in which case get_n_{first,last}_commands() may be a more correct name. - Wouldn't it be necessary for these functions to report the total number of commands, instead of giving "void" back? Otherwise how would the caller produce summary like this: An interactive rebase of 14 commits in progress.
