BTW, what the manual says: "*Please note:* we recommend using DEFAULT
rather than INITIAL in most cases." - maybe that could be a bit more
precise? Which cases - what's problematic with using INITIAL in these
cases? Why doesn't the docstring say that INITIAL is not recommended?
Should developers better use alternatives (I guess one could use
`minibuffer-setup-hook' to insert a default), or is any initial
minibuffer content considered "bad"?
Michael.
