`read-string' calls its parameter INITIAL-INPUT.
`read-from-minibuffer' calls its parameter INITIAL-CONTENTS.
But the doc string of `read-string' says that parameter INITIAL-INPUT
"behaves as in `read-from-minibuffer'", which clearly makes no sense
since `r-f-m' has no such parameter.
The two should have the same name if the doc for one refers to the
other.

Somebody has sneakily changed the doc string:
If non-nil, second arg INITIAL-INPUT is a string to insert before reading.
This argument has been superseded by DEFAULT-VALUE and should normally be nil
in new code. It behaves as INITIAL-CONTENTS in ‘read-from-minibuffer’ (which
see).
