So I tried searching for CONFIG_N in "make menuconfig" and it gave me many
results, but with or without your patch I didn't see a difference.

Just point to the "default" grammar definition - I see

    config NEW_NAME
        bool "New option name"
        default OLD_NAME

in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst which says that default <symbols
in caps> refers to a symbol but the grammar should be properly documented
somewhere too (can't find it now...).

Thx.
