;;; Commentary:

;; This package implements 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.

ido-cr+ features will be deactivated to avoid interfering with
the other command.

never return this value.")

Possible values:

- `prepend-empty-string': The empty string will be added to the
  front of COLLECTION, making it the default. This is the
  standard behavior since it mimics the semantics of
  `completing-read-default'.

- `append-empty-string': The empty string will be added to the
  end of COLLECTION, thus keeping the original default while
  making the empty string available as a completion.

- `nil': No action will be taken.

- Any other value: The value will be interpreted as a 1-argument
  function, which will receive the current collection as its
  argument and return the collection with any necessary
  modifications applied.

This is not meant to be set permanently, but rather let-bound
before calling `ido-completing-read+' under controlled
