As I said, as a matter of principle and general design, Emacs goes to
great lengths to make sure users can do even what we *don't* want them
to do (except make our code proprietary). So of course it is and will
remain possible for users to write code that prefills the minibuffer.
The question is how to make an API that encourages coders to write code in
such a way that the behavior is fairly homogeneous between packages and
such that users can customize the behavior to be the way they like it.
