   Adding one new interactive code seems like a useful thing.

On that topic, how about an interactive code e that gets followed by a
lisp expression to evaluate to get this argument?  Yes, I know I call
call interactive with a single lisp form that should return a list of
all args, but I want a way to do something special for just a *single*
arg.  So I could write

(defun funny (odd peculiar strange)
   (interactive "sString: \ne(call-horrid-function)\nP")
   ... )

instead of

(defun funny (odd peculiar strange)
   (interactive (list (read-string "String: ")
                      (call-horrid-function)
                      current-prefix-arg))
   ... )
