Subject: bug#19114: 25.0.50; doc string of `eval-expression-print-format' is inappropriate

The doc string says "Return a formatted string which is displayed in the
echo area..."  This is quite misleading.  It can easily give the
impression that this function displays the returned value in the echo
area.  THIS function does not with the formatted string, besides
returning it.  It displays nothing.  Please DTRT.
