Yes, Stefan's suggestion sounds doable. However, I would actually
prefer for it to be the default, as there I see benefits especially
for new users and little problems for others.
Secondly, I don't think we should go through the full confirmation
dialog. Instead, just a "ding" sound should be enough, and a second
RET would then act as confirmation.
Is this really a special case for file name completion, and really
only for `find-file'?
Does it not apply to all kinds of completion?
