-If DEFAULTS is a non-nil symbol, then if `read-regexp-defaults-function'
-is non-nil, we use that in place of DEFAULTS in the following:
- If DEFAULTS is the symbol `regexp-history-last', we use the first
- element of HISTORY (if specified) or `regexp-history'.
- If DEFAULTS is a function, we call it with no arguments and use
- what it returns, which should be either nil, a string, or a list of strings.
+DEFAULTS can be a symbol. If DEFAULTS is the symbol
+`regexp-history-last', we use the first element of HISTORY (if
+specified) or `regexp-history'. If DEFAULTS is a symbol with a
+function definition, we call it with no arguments and use what it
+returns, which should be either nil, a string, or a list of
+strings. Other symbol values for DEFAULTS are ignored. If
+`read-regexp-defaults-function' is non-nil, its value is used
+instead of DEFAULTS in the two cases described in this paragraph.
We append the standard values from `read-regexp-suggestions' to DEFAULTS
before using it.
