But please stop saying that it is my proposal. In fact, I see your two proposals: 1. Add a prefix arg to `C-x C-e' to control the variables `eval-expression-print-level' and `eval-expression-print-length'. This was the first question in your message that started this thread: "How about letting the particular prefix arg control whether to print the full value?" 2. And your second question was "How about letting a non-negative prefix arg insert the full value?". Your second proposal changes the default behavior of `C-x C-e' to insert the full value by default. I agreed that the first is an improvement, but have doubts about the second.
