The reason for the change in pp-eval-expression
is so that it will use read-expression-map and
read-expression-history. There is no clean way to make
(interactive "x") use them.
If this change causes trouble, we could create a new command with the
new meaning of pp-eval-expression, and document that for users; then
we could put pp-eval-expression back the old way, just for Lisp
callers.
