Gentlemen, I wanted to turn completion-ignored-extensions off, but
;(setq completion-ignored-extensions nil); cause any dired to loop, emacs must be killed
;(setq completion-ignored-extensions '()); same
;(setq completion-ignored-extensions '("")); same, must use:
(setq completion-ignored-extensions '(".bogus_junk_or_else_emacs_loops"))
(and we had to call in the veterinarian to put emacs out of its misery).
emacs-version "21.3.1". Do say in the docstring the proper way of
turning it off.
