;;; Commentary:

;; This code defines a function, `completing-read-multiple', which
;; provides the ability to read multiple strings in the minibuffer,
;; with completion.

;; By using this functionality, a user may specify multiple strings at
;; a single prompt, optionally using completion.

;; Multiple strings are specified by separating each of the strings
;; with a prespecified separator character.  For example, if the
;; separator character is a comma, the strings 'alice', 'bob', and
;; 'eve' would be specified as 'alice,bob,eve'.

;; The default value for the separator character is the value of
;; `crm-default-separator' (comma).  The separator character may be
;; changed by modifying the value of `crm-separator'.

;; Contiguous strings of non-separator-characters are referred to as
;; 'elements'.  In the aforementioned example, the elements are:
;; 'alice', 'bob', and 'eve'.

;; Completion is available on a per-element basis.  For example, if
;; the contents of the minibuffer are 'alice,bob,eve' and point is
;; between 'l' and 'i', pressing TAB operates on the element 'alice'.

;; For the moment, I have decided to not bind any special behavior to
;; the separator key.  In the future, the separator key might be used
;; to provide completion in certain circumstances.  One of the reasons
;; why this functionality is not yet provided is that it is unclear to
;; the author what the precise circumstances are, under which
;; separator-invoked completion should be provided.

;; Design note: `completing-read-multiple' is modeled after
;; `completing-read'.  They should be similar -- it was intentional.

;; Some of this code started out as translation from C code in
;; src/minibuf.c to Emacs Lisp code.

;; Thanks to Richard Stallman for all of his help (many of the good
;; ideas in here are from him), Gerd Moellmann for his attention,
;; Stefan Monnier for responding with a code sample and comments very
;; early on, and Kai Grossjohann & Soren Dayton for valuable feedback.

;;; Questions and Thoughts:

;; -the author has gone through a number of test-and-fix cycles w/
;;  this code, so it should be usable.  please let me know if you find
;;  any problems.

;; -should `completing-read-multiple' allow a trailing separator in
;; a return value when REQUIRE-MATCH is t?  if not, should beep when a user
;; tries to exit the minibuffer via RET?

;; -TODO: possibly make return values from `crm-do-completion' into constants

;; -TODO: find out whether there is an appropriate way to distinguish between
;;        functions intended for internal use and those that aren't.

;; -tip: use M-f and M-b for ease of navigation among elements.

By using this functionality, a user may specify multiple strings at a
single prompt, optionally using completion.

Multiple strings are specified by separating each of the strings with
a prespecified separator character.  For example, if the separator
character is a comma, the strings 'alice', 'bob', and 'eve' would be
specified as 'alice,bob,eve'.

The default value for the separator character is the value of

Contiguous strings of non-separator-characters are referred to as

Completion is available on a per-element basis.  For example, if the

'l' and 'i', pressing TAB operates on the element 'alice'.
