Is that intentional, and if so, what is the reason for this behavior? Also, it sounds like DEFAULT must be a single string or nil, it cannot be a list of strings, as in other functions that read from the minibuffer. Again, is that on purpose? (Btw, it would be good if the doc string gave answers to these questions.) TIA
