The next step here is probably to fix the cases where there's a default,
but where the prompt doesn't mention them.  Like:

(defun last-chance (symbol)
[...]
                             (completing-read
                              "Symbol: " obarray
                              nil nil
                              one nil one)))))

`one' is the default here.  Has anybody written an Emacs-Lisp-aware
grep?  That can list all hits of completing-read where the seventh
parameter isn't nil?  It doesn't sound that difficult to do, but I
thought I'd ask before I start typing...
