However, if a special option will be added to enable selecting the default value, then it could co-exist with DEFULT-VALUE in such a way that if INITIAL-INPUT is specified, it could be selected as the region; but if INITIAL-INPUT is nil and DEFULT-VALUE is non-nil, only then DEFULT-VALUE will be inserted into the minibuffer and selected. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
