;;; Commentary:

;; You may have seen the `ido-everywhere' variable in ido.el and got
;; excited that you could use ido completion for everything. Then you
;; were probably disappointed when you realized that it only applied
;; to *file names* and nothing else. Well, ido-ubiquitous is here to
;; fulfill the original promise and let you use ido completion for
;; (almost) any command that uses `completing-read' to offer you a
;; choice of several alternatives.

;; This even works in M-x, but for that, you might prefer the "smex"
;; package instead.

;; As of version 0.7, this package also makes a small modification to
;; ido's behavior so as to support a strange corner case of
;; `completing-read' that some functions rely on. Since the goal of
;; this package is to replace `completing-read' everywhere instead of
;; just selectively (as ido itself does), compatibility with all the
;; quriks of `completing-read' is important here.

;; If you find a case where enabling ido-ubiquitous causes a command
;; not to work correctly, please report it by creating an issue on
;; GitHub: https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-ubiquitous/issues

> If the input is null, `completing-read' returns DEF, or the

> if DEF is nil, regardless of the value of REQUIRE-MATCH.

If this variable is non-nil, then ido-ubiquitous will attempt to
emulate this behavior. Specifically, if RET is pressed
immediately upon entering completion, an empty string will be
returned instead of the first element in the list. This behavior
is only enabled when ido is being used as a substitute for
`completing-read', and not when it is used directly.

This odd behavior is required for compatibility with an old-style
usage pattern whereby the default was requested by returning an
empty string. In this mode, the caller receives the empty string
and handles the default case manually, while `completing-read'
never has any knowledge of the default. This is a problem for
ido, which always returns the first element in the list when the
input is empty. Without knowledge of the default, it cannot
ensure that the default is first on the list, so returning the
first item is not the correct behavior. Instead, it must return
an empty string like `completing-read'.

When this mode is enabled, you can still select the first item on
the list by prefixing \"RET\" with \"C-u\".

If you want to enable compatibility selectively for specific
commands or functions, see the other options in the
