``future history,'' available to the user with @kbd{M-n}.
If @var{read} is non-@code{nil}, then @var{default} is also used as
the input to @code{read}, if the user enters empty input. (If
@var{read} is non-@code{nil} and @var{default} is @code{nil}, empty
input results in an @code{end-of-file} error.) However, in the usual
case (where @var{read} is @code{nil}), @code{read-from-minibuffer}
ignores @var{default} when the user enters empty input and returns an
empty string, @code{""}. In this respect, it differs from all the
other minibuffer input functions in this chapter.

If @var{default} is a list of strings, the first string is used as the input.
If @var{default} is @code{nil}, empty input results in an @code{end-of-file} error.

If @var{keymap} is non-@code{nil}, that keymap is the local keymap to
