That sounds fine to me.

...less confident about this one, because read-regexp-defaults-function 
doesn't do anything like that, right? It might be nice if the options 
mirrored each other.

But if it's too much of a bother right now, I could just add two 
hand-written prompts with default to xref-find-references-and-replace, 
without the fancy "arrow". It's not like the replacements history is 
going to see too much use for this command.

In the meantime, I think you should install your latest patch now 
(without the xref.el part, since it doesn't work yet).
