A number of functions that call `read-file-name' utilize the
`default-filename' parameter, or its default.  E.g., M-x
diff-backup RET should diff the current file instead of attempting
to diff the current directory.  I.e., regular `read-file-name'
returns `(or default-filename buffer-file-name)'.  Currently
`ido-read-file-name' always returns default-directory if the user
presses only RET.

I would like ido-read-file-name to heed default-filename.  I'm
willing to implement it.


Note that I think ido-find-file behavior shouldn't change,
i.e. ido-find-file RET should still dired the current directory.
(I also used Kevin Rodgers' find-file advice to also change
find-file's behavior thus.)
