This suggestion has to do with (interactive).  I think (interactive)
should handle more of the cases I currently write myself.

Specifically, I am interested in functions that operate on an X, where
an X is prompted for, with a default of "the X at point."  X's I have
encountered include words, symbols, and variables; others are obvious.

By "default" I mean "value used when nothing is entered to a prompt";
"nothing entered" must be carefully defined.

Maybe new (interactive) code letters would suffice:

W -- Any string of word-syntax characters, default is the word at point.
I -- Any symbol ("identifier"), default is the symbol at point.
V -- Any variable, default is the variable at point.

(This choice of letters is meant to imply the addition of the letters
`w' for word-syntax and `i' to replace `S'.)

Or maybe a special character (`.'?) following a code letter would be
better, since capitalization is already overloaded.

Implementing this will require functions that will do minibuffer reads
with defaults for all X's of interest.

Comments?
