Subject: 23.0.60; doc for read-from-minibuffer
Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 13:51:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <008f01c8abcd$14683c40$c2b22382@us.oracle.com> (raw)

Arg DEFAULT can now be a list. This is not reflected in the doc string.
 
And the Elisp manual doc is not clear about what happens with non-nil
READ and list-valued DEFAULT:
 
 If READ is non-`nil', then DEFAULT is also used as the input to
     `read', if the user enters empty input.
 
Does this mean the whole list DEFAULT is passed to `read'.
 
Allow me to mention also that letting DEFAULT be a list also breaks
code that I have, FWIW...
