I was in fact hoping that my change would be of benefit to ido users as well (I didn't know about the existence of ido-hacks though). I realized that with some completer functions it doesn't make sense to embed the default in the prompt because the completer has other means of indicating the default, which is after all passed to it separately. iswitchb is this kind of a completer and from my previous experience with ido I recall it is similar. Unfortunately I wasn't able to use ido for testing so I used iswitchb instead and thus added a completing-read wrapper for it. The subject of my patch sadly talks only about the iswitchb support even though that was one of two orthogonal changes in the patch; I should have made separate commits of them. -- Hannu
