What improvement is that?

     (message "hello")
     (eval-expression (message "hello"))
     (pp-eval-expression (message "hello"))

Here, the first two seem to do the same, namely put it
in the echo area for inspection and then you can use
`C-h e'. pp-eval-expression also puts it in *Messages*
but doesn't echo it what I can see.

But I agree with the other posters, IELM, with

    (ielm)

is the best way to do this.
