That doesn't seem right. I was going to suggest something like (file-relative-name (expand-file-name completion directory) directory) but I realized that's equivalent to just completion, so I took a look at the code in wid-edit.el. But it's not clear to me (1) why widget-file-complete expands the pattern nor (2) why it can safely assume the pattern has a non-nil directory that can be passed as the second arg to file-name-completion. -- Kevin Rodgers
