Document changes to confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer.

shift-translated, or after commands that would ordinarily deactivate
the mark in Transient Mark mode (e.g., any command that modifies the
buffer).

** Minibuffer and completion changes
+++
*** When M-n in the minibuffer reaches the end of the list of defaults,
it adds the completion list to the end, so next M-n continues putting
completion items to the minibuffer.  The same principle applies to
incremental search commands as well: C-s or C-M-s starts searching

`pp-macroexpand-last-sexp' pretty-print macro expansions.

*** The new command `set-file-modes' allows to set file's mode bits.
The mode bits can be specified in symbolic notation, like with GNU
Coreutils, in addition to an octal number.
+++
*** Emacs requires confirmation before opening a non-existent file or buffer.
You can recover the previous behavior by setting
confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer to nil.

*** `next-error-recenter' specifies how next-error should recenter the
visited source file.  Its value can be a number (for example, 0 for
top line, -1 for bottom line), or nil for no recentering.
+++

Since this means the returned list is not properly nil-terminated, this
is an incompatible change and is thus enabled by the new variable
completion-all-completions-with-base-size.

+++
*** The `require-match' argument to `completing-read' accepts a new value
`confirm-only'.

** Search and replacement changes
+++
*** The regexp form \(?<num>:<regexp>\) specifies the group number explicitly.

** Minibuffer and completion changes
+++
*** Emacs may ask for confirmation before opening a non-existent file
or buffer.  By default, Emacs requests confirmation if you type RET
immediately after TAB, and the resulting input is not an existing file
or buffer; this usually happens when the minibuffer input did not
complete far enough and you entered RET by mistake.  In that case,
Emacs puts the message "[Confirm]" in the minibuffer; type RET again
to create the file or buffer.

The new variable confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer determines whether
Emacs asks for confirmation.  The default value is `after-completion'.
If you change it to t, Emacs always asks for confirmation; if you
change it to nil, Emacs never asks for confirmation.
