;;; Commentary:

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

;;; Todo:

;; - Make read-file-name-predicate obsolete.
;; - New command minibuffer-force-complete that chooses one of all-completions.
;; - Add vc-file-name-completion-table to read-file-name-internal.
;; - A feature like completing-help.el.
;; - Make the `hide-spaces' arg of all-completions obsolete?

;;; Code:

If this variable is nil, the minibuffer often starts out empty.  In
