It would be valuable to mark the default entry
when users scroll through the options defined
for `completing-read` whenever a DEF is supplied.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Is this about highlighting in `*Completions*' a
completion that's the DEF?
Suppose one moves through the collection.  There is no way
that identifies the entry as being a designated DEF.

Is it about selecting (as the active region) the
DEF value when you insert it with `M-n'?
I think M-n ensured you are refering to DEF.

Something else?

And is the request to be able do whatever-it-is
_optionally_ or always?
Optionally is ok, but do not know the technical details.  I do not think
doing it always would be a bad thing.
