The documentation probably needs to be improved in this respect,
admittedly, but I can't see where the docstring suggests a different
workflow (or more specifically, I suspect that it only does so if you
have a particular workflow in mind to start with).

But with your solution, the users that want not just to modify the
default but to enter a different value need to first delete the initial
value, (e.g. `C-a C-k`).
You win some, you lose some.
