I meant C-j in *scratch* buffer (eval-print-last-sexp) and `C-x C-e'.
They return the same result.  I didn't notice the change of
eval-last-sexp, sorry.  I'm closing this issue.

When evaluate below codes, I get unexpected result.

(defvar test 1)

-> test

It is expected.

(defvar test 2)

-> 2

It should return 'test'.

(symbol-value 'test)

-> 2

It should return 1.
