When I invoke load-file interactively and just press RET at the prompt,
it attempts to load the currently visited file.

The load-file manual page doesn't document that.  Perhaps more
importantly, the prompt doesn't state the default value inside square
brackets, unlike other commands.

Is this behavior intended?
