Subject: 24.0.50; doc string of `eval-expression'
Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:29:31 -0700

The doc strings says nothing about the command reading an expression
input by the user - which is the most important info for users.  This is
a _command_, not just a non-interactive function.  Its behavior for
users needs to be described.
