;;; Code:

(require 'ido)

;;;###autoload
(defcustom ido-ubiquitous-enabled t
  "If non-nil, use `ido-completing-read' instead of `completing-read' if possible.

  This variable has no effect unless `ido-everywhere' is also
  non-nil.

  Set it to nil using let in around-advice for functions where
  the original `completing-read' is required. For example, if a
  function `foo' absolutely cannot use ido, but must instead use
  the original `completing-read', define some advice like this:

  (defadvice foo (around original-completing-read-only activate)
    (let (ido-ubiquitous-enabled) ad-do-it))"
  :group 'ido
