Subject: 24.2.50; Default values in the minibuffer prompt (fix inconsisntecy)
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 15:53:51 +0200

Severity: minor

Hello,

I see that some commands that use the minibuffer such as "C-x b"
(switch-to-buffer) present the default value in the minibuffer prompt,
as "(default <value>)", while other commands such as "C-x r m"
(bookmark-set) omit the "default " part, i.e, they show the default
value just as "(value)".

I see no reason for this inconsistency, neither I see the need for the
"default " part.

So, hereby I propose to fix this, i.e., to omit the "default " in
those commands where this is currently shown.

TIA.
