Consider the function defined by

(defun bigops (grafm seltr)
  (interactive
    (let ( (collecj '("boxplus" "boxtimes" "Cap" "centerdot" "circledast")) )
      (completing-read "Grapheme: " collecj nil t "boxplus")))

The user would see "boxplus", then the following element shows "boxplus"
consecutively again.  Could you consider the capability that when one uses
REQUIRE-MATCH, the function finds the entry for INITIAL-INPUT so that the 
next thing that gets shown after that starts from the one following the 
match in COLLECTION.  Otherwise, one is forced to put the INITIAL-INPUT
entry at the end of COLLECTION.
