Subject: 27.0.50; print-quoted should default to t
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 11:31:09 -0500

Package: Emacs
Version: 27.0.50


I was reviewing some of my local patches and noticed that I tend to
let-bind print-quoted to t everywhere, and it occurred to me that
instead we should simply change the default.  I can't remember
a circumstance where I needed print-quoted to be nil (tho I wouldn't be
surprised if this patch ends up finding such a circumstance).

I suggest the patch below (for master, obviously).

Aagh, my customize settings changed!

But that doesn't break anything as far as I can see.

+1 from me
