Questions/comments:

- Why did you change from using
  `register--read-with-preview-function` to using
  (default-value 'register--read-with-preview-function) ?
  [ The answer should presumably be in the commit message but
    I couldn't find it there.  ]

- Why let-bind `register--read-with-preview-function`
  rather than using a local lexical var?
  [ The answer should probably be in a comment in the code.  ]

- Making the behavior dependent on `executing-kbd-macro` is generally
  undesirable, so it should be accompanied with a comment in the code
  explaining why we need it (with enough detail that someone
  sufficiently motivated could potentially "fix" the code to remove this
  dependency, or alternatively to convince that someone else that this
  dependency is actually desirable here).
