I think we can't solve this logical paradox because it contains
self-contradictory requirements.  Here is the command that
illustrates this paradox.  What should this command print?

  C-x p p ... C-h v default-directory RET

Like Schrödinger's cat, it belongs simultaneously to both classes:

1. wants to print the new value of default-directory
   because 'C-h v' is the next command for which
   the value of default-directory was explicitly set.

2. wants to print the original value of default-directory
   because 'C-h v' was invoked in the buffer where
   the value of default-directory should stay unchanged.
