;; Version: 3.5

;;; Commentary:

;; This package implments the `ido-completing-read+' function, which
;; is a wrapper for `ido-completing-read'. Importantly, it detects
;; edge cases that ordinary ido cannot handle and either adjusts them
;; so ido *can* handle them, or else simply falls back to Emacs'
;; standard completion instead.
