23.0.60; doc for read-from-minibuffer

Arg DEFAULT can now be a list. This is not reflected in the doc string.
 
And the Elisp manual doc is not clear about what happens with non-nil
READ and list-valued DEFAULT:
 
 If READ is non-`nil', then DEFAULT is also used as the input to
     `read', if the user enters empty input.
 
Does this mean the whole list DEFAULT is passed to `read'.
 
Allow me to mention also that letting DEFAULT be a list also breaks
code that I have, FWIW...
