I see, thank you very much.
Ideally, I would like global-abbrev-table to be the default. With (interactive X...) I don't see how to do that.
When I run M-x my-test <RET>, I get read--expression: End of file during parsing. The function halts immediately and doesn't evaluate the body. I'm not sure how I could catch that.
(defun my-test (expr)
"test interactive X behavior."
(interactive "XLisp expression: ")
(message "before compare") (if expr
(message "%s" expr)
(message "is nil"))
(message "after compare"))
I assume read--expression is being used within (interactive X...). It's not documented and I didn't have much luck trying to use it (not detailing those efforts here since it's really not meant for "public" use).
