I have no strong opinion on the format, but I tried this format, and
it looks for me pretty odd, because it resembles a mathematical equation
which, even though is true, emphasizes the fact of equality of
different representations which is slightly distracting in this case.
Again, I want to repeat that I have no strong opinion, and if everyone
will like it, I will have no objections. But it seems to me that the
format of C-x = with parentheses is better.

Yes! I completely forgot that M-: can print numerical results as well.
And then perhaps it should be printed for C-M-x, too. Though, I'm not
sure, because `eval-defun' might be called as a function, and to print
a value may be inappropriate here?
