This may conflict with INITIAL-INPUT argument.

However, if a special option will be added to enable selecting
the default value, then it could co-exist with DEFULT-VALUE in such a
way that if INITIAL-INPUT is specified, it could be selected as the region;
but if INITIAL-INPUT is nil and DEFULT-VALUE is non-nil, only then
DEFULT-VALUE will be inserted into the minibuffer and selected.
