It's _always_ handy to be able to edit a kill-ring entry before inserting it into the minibuffer. It's high time that `completing-read' stop using `SPC' for word completion. `SPC' should be self-inserting (and the same for `?'). There's no reason nowadays (and there was never a good reason) to expect that completion candidates will not include space chars. Dunno why this is such a tooth-pull. It took decades to even get `SPC' to be self-inserting for `read-file-name'. I raised the same issue for `completing-read' at that time (and before then). Word completion? How much is it actually relevant now? In any case, it's easy to allow for it. Icicles uses `M-SPC' for that.
