FWIW -
Done 5 years ago in pp+.el (and probably suggested to Emacs Dev as well).
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/pp%2b.el
Other pp+.el enhancements to `pp-eval-expression', which Emacs could
consider or integrate:
* Does not use 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook'.
* Fontifies the result buffer, `*Pp Eval Output*'.
* Makes several EmacsLisp keybindings available while reading the
expression - uses a new keymap, 'pp-read-expression-map'.
You can use:
'C-M-q' to indent a sexp
'C-M-x' to eval a sexp
'TAB' to Lisp-indent
'M-TAB' to complete a Lisp symbol
* (With a prefix arg, inserts the pretty-printed result in the
current buffer.) With a negative prefix arg and a string result,
inserts it without enclosing double-quotes (`"').
* Respects new options 'pp-eval-expression-print-length' and
'pp-eval-expression-print-level', which control the print length
and print level. Respects 'eval-expression-debug-on-error'.
[FWIW2, I use (substitute-key-definition 'eval-expression
'pp-eval-expression
global-map).]
