So, it sounds like perhaps we should reconsider what the aim of
this so-called "initial Lisp expression" is. What is the need
that its display is meant to satisfy?
The "initial Lisp expression" is supposed to be the default as
provided by the distribution. This is what you get when you start
Emacs with `emacs -Q'.
Another Lisp expression is the previous value as set by a user in his
.emacs file (or, for people who have not yet learned Emacs Lisp, set
with `customize').
People who use .emacs for customization will be able to see a previous
value since either it will be visible in their .emacs file (or in a
backup) or it will be the `emacs -Q' default.
People who do not use .emacs should also be able to see a previous
value that is not a default (or, better yet, see several values, which
gives them more or less the equivalent of several different .emacs
files).
