There is an obscure feature that typing `C-x C-e' twice displays
full information in the echo area, and typing `C-u C-x C-e' twice
inserts full information to the *scratch* buffer.

bug#12985 proposes to fix this (mis-)feature to insert full information
to the *scratch* buffer only when you type the C-u arg, i.e. `C-u C-x C-e',
and always display full information in the each area and in ielm.
