Yuck!
I *much* prefer

    Enter the answer (default 42):

which is what is used by pretty much everything except for C-x b (where the
default is after the colon by "accident" AFAICT).

PS: Actually I even prefer

    Enter the answer [42]:

  because minibuffer width is limited.  I guess I should write a variant of
  minibuffer-electric-default-mode which rewrites the (default foo) into
  [foo].
