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.
