;;; 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).

;;; 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 because we only
;;   provide the start info but not the end info in
;;   completion-base-position.
;; - quoting is problematic.  E.g. the double-dollar quoting used in
;;   substitie-in-file-name (and hence read-file-name-internal) bumps
;;   into various bugs:
;; - choose-completion doesn't know how to quote the text it inserts.
;;   E.g. it fails to double the dollars in file-name completion, or
;;   to backslash-escape spaces and other chars in comint completion.
;;   - when completing ~/tmp/fo$$o, the highligting in *Completions*
;;     is off by one position.
;;   - all code like PCM which relies on all-completions to match
;;     its argument gets confused because all-completions returns unquoted
;;     texts (as desired for *Completions* output).
;; - C-x C-f ~/*/sr ? should not list "~/./src".
;; - minibuffer-force-complete completes ~/src/emacs/t<!>/lisp/minibuffer.el
;;   to ~/src/emacs/trunk/ and throws away lisp/minibuffer.el.

;;; Todo:

;; - make partial-complete-mode obsolete:
;;   - (?) <foo.h> style completion for file names.
;;     This can't be done identically just by tweaking completion,
;;     because partial-completion-mode's behavior is to expand <string.h>
;;     to /usr/include/string.h only when exiting the minibuffer, at which
;;     point the completion code is actually not involved normally.
;;     Partial-completion-mode does it via a find-file-not-found-function.
;;   - special code for C-x C-f <> to visit the file ref'd at point
;;     via (require 'foo) or #include "foo".  ffap seems like a better
;;     place for this feature (supplemented with major-mode-provided
;;     functions to find the file ref'd at point).

;; - case-sensitivity currently confuses two issues:
;;   - whether or not a particular completion table should be case-sensitive
;;     (i.e. whether strings that differ only by case are semantically
;;     equivalent)
;;   - whether the user wants completion to pay attention to case.
;;   e.g. we may want to make it possible for the user to say "first try
;;   completion case-sensitively, and if that fails, try to ignore case".

;; - add support for ** to pcm.
;; - Add vc-file-name-completion-table to read-file-name-internal.
;; - A feature like completing-help.el.

  "Non-nil means when reading a filename start with default dir in minibuffer.

When the initial minibuffer contents show a name of a file or a directory,
typing RETURN without editing the initial contents is equivalent to typing
the default file name.

If this variable is non-nil, the minibuffer contents are always
initially non-empty, and typing RETURN without editing will fetch the
default name, if one is provided.  Note however that this default name
is not necessarily the same as initial contents inserted in the minibuffer,
if the initial contents is just the default directory.

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
the minibuffer empty.

For some commands, exiting with an empty minibuffer has a special meaning,
such as making the current buffer visit no file in the case of
`set-visited-file-name'."

Value is not expanded---you must call `expand-file-name' yourself.
Default name to DEFAULT-FILENAME if user exits the minibuffer with
the same non-empty string that was inserted by this function.
 (If DEFAULT-FILENAME is omitted, the visited file name is used,
  except that if INITIAL is specified, that combined with DIR is used.
  If DEFAULT-FILENAME is a list of file names, the first 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.

If optional sixth arg PREDICATE is non-nil, possible completions and
the resulting file name must satisfy (funcall PREDICATE NAME).
DIR should be an absolute directory name.  It defaults to the value of
`default-directory'.

dialog if `use-dialog-box' is non-nil, and the window system or X
toolkit in use provides a file dialog box, and DIR is not a
remote file.  For graphical file dialogs, any the special values
of MUSTMATCH; `confirm' and `confirm-after-completion' are
treated as equivalent to nil.
