The bug report was about `query-replace' (but also other,
related commands, if relevant).
Checking with the Emacs 27 pretest, as far as I can see:
1. There's NO such defaulting for `query-replace'. Nada.
2. `query-replace-regexp' does NOT do "all of the above".
It doesn't use the active region.
It doesn't use the secondary selection.
It doesn't use a function variable does it? I mean a
variable whose value is a function that returns some
particular bunch of text at point. Something similar
to the option `search/replace-default-fn' I mentioned.
I see, for `C-M-%', only these two defaults:
1. A word at point (e.g. `foo'),
2. A regexp that matches a symbol at point (e.g. `\_<foo\_>'.
But yes, that's better than nothing - a good start.
`query-replace' could likewise use some love.
