Yes, improving the default value is welcome (and needed).
But currently it is unchanged.  As a result there is a
doc bug because what the doc says about the default value
is incorrect.  If you fix the default value to be what
the doc says then the doc will not need to change.  Else
it does need to change.

BTW, I think (but am not 100% sure) that `^' and `$' are
the wrong things to use here.  Instead, `\`' and `\''
should be used.

Do you need a separate bug report for that?

Why not?
