;;; Commentary:

;; Names with "--" are for functions and variables that are meant to be for
;; internal use only.

;; Functional completion tables have an extended calling conventions:
;; - The `action' can be (additionally to nil, t, and lambda) of the form
;;   (boundaries . SUFFIX) in which case it should return
;;   (boundaries START . END).  See `completion-boundaries'.
;;   Any other return value should be ignored (so we ignore values returned
;;   from completion tables that don't know about this new `action' form).
;;   See `completion-boundaries'.

;;; Bugs:

;; - completion-all-sorted-completions list all the completions, whereas
;;   it should only lists the ones that `try-completion' would consider.
;;   E.g.  it should honor completion-ignored-extensions.
;; - choose-completion can't automatically figure out the boundaries
;;   corresponding to the displayed completions.  `base-size' gives the left
;;   boundary, but not the righthand one.  So we need to add
;;   completion-extra-size (and also completion-no-auto-exit).

;;; Todo:

;; - make lisp-complete-symbol and sym-comp use it.
;; - add support for ** to pcm.
;; - Make read-file-name-predicate obsolete.
;; - Add vc-file-name-completion-table to read-file-name-internal.
;; - A feature like completing-help.el.
;; - make lisp/complete.el obsolete.
;; - Make the `hide-spaces' arg of all-completions obsolete?

initially non-empty, and typing RETURN without editing will fetch the
default name, if one is provided.  Note however that this default name

If this variable is nil, the minibuffer often starts out empty.  In
that case you may have to explicitly fetch the next history element to
request the default name; typing RETURN without editing will leave

Default name to DEFAULT-FILENAME if user exits the minibuffer with

 (If DEFAULT-FILENAME is omitted, the visited file name is used,

If the user exits with an empty minibuffer, this function returns
an empty string.  (This can only happen if the user erased the
pre-inserted contents or if `insert-default-directory' is nil.)

Fourth arg MUSTMATCH can take the following values:
- nil means that the user can exit with any input.
- t means that the user is not allowed to exit unless
  the input is (or completes to) an existing file.
- `confirm' means that the user can exit with any input, but she needs
  to confirm her choice if the input is not an existing file.
- `confirm-after-completion' means that the user can exit with any
  input, but she needs to confirm her choice if she called
  `minibuffer-complete' right before `minibuffer-complete-and-exit'
  and the input is not an existing file.
- anything else behaves like t except that typing RET does not exit if it
  does non-null completion.

Fifth arg INITIAL specifies text to start with.

the resulting file name must satisfy (funcall PREDICATE NAME).

If this command was invoked with the mouse, use a graphical file
