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...

Thanks, I updated the doc strings.

This is now documented in the Elisp manual.

This is now mentioned in the Incompatible Lisp Changes section of NEWS.
