I do not like that decision either. GUI applications at least
on w32 use to select a field when you enter it. Maybe there is a
chance to rethink this decision after the release. Could such
things be put in the TODO list?
It's not clear which decision you are referring to. I was speaking of the
decision to deprecate INITIAL-VALUE insertion (in favor of using only DEF).
It sounds like you're arguing for preselection of an initial value.
IOW, there are two questions:
1. Can INIT-VALUE be reinstated as a legitimate (i.e. not disrecommended)
option?
2. Can preselection of an initial value be provided (e.g. as an option)?
