How did the signature of `completing-read' get changed?  I didn't notice
any proposal or discussion about this in emacs-devel@gnu.org.  Did I
just miss it somehow?

It used to be that _any_ REQUIRE-MATCH value that is not `t', nil,
`confirm', or `confirm-after-completion' behaves like `t', except that
type RET doesn't exit if what you type does non-null completion.

That's no longer true if the value is a function!  This completely
changes the behavior of `completing-read'.

Not happy with the result, and not happy with how the process - how this
was done, if it wasn't discussed openly in emacs-devel.
