How is it related to minibuffer? Because such functions as `read-from-string' directly use minibuffer. I have extensive use of such functions in my work and other people use it as well. Heaving a header in minibuffer would help my workers understand better what is meant with the input. >From manual: The “minibuffer” is where Emacs commands read complicated arguments, such as file names, buffer names, Emacs command names, or Lisp expressions. We call it the “minibuffer” because it’s a special-purpose buffer with a small amount of screen space. You can use the usual Emacs editing commands in the minibuffer to edit the argument text. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
