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?
