I agree that it would make sense, especially since it is what many people
using delete-selection-mode are already accustomed to. But it is less
general, as can be seen in the recent discussion of M-%: the default
displayed in the prompt shows both `from' and `to' strings whereas the
prompt is only asking the user to enter the `from' string. I think this
"discrepency" doesn't cause the slightest problem when the default is put in
a "(default FOO)" annotation in the prompt, whereas it would be slightly
confusing if it were put in the text field.
