FIXME: When the reader is called in the minibuffer.

[Spenser Truex <web@spensertruex.com>]

I was fiddling with the reader when I found this:

    /* FIXME: ?! When is this used !?  */
        return call1 (intern ("read-minibuffer"),
    		  build_string ("Lisp expression: "));

This code is called when the reader is called from the minibuffer
*without a stream*, like this:

M-:
Eval: (read) RET
Lisp expression: ;; Insert elisp code here

A quick grep shows that "Lisp expression: " only occurs here in the
source code. There is a diff to fix the comment. This is my first
submission so I should be eligible, thank you.
