This change:

    **** Typing C-x C-e twice prints the value of the integer result
    in additional formats (octal, hexadecimal, character) specified
    by the new function `eval-expression-print-format'.  The same
    function also defines the result format for `eval-expression' (M-:),
    `eval-print-last-sexp' (C-j) and some edebug evaluation functions.

is awful for C-u M-:

It makes it much harder to make keyboard macros that manipulate numbers in
buffers since every time they insert the result they insert this garbage in
the buffer.
