Got no reponse to this proposal from March. Rephrasing it:
How about having `completing-read' just call a `completing-read-function'
variable if non-nil?
This is the same thing that `read-file-name' does, with
`read-file-name-function'.

It sounds useful to authors of Emacs extensions and might even be
useful directly for end users, letting them decide what
completing-read function they feel like using on any particular day.

I agree. Is there any reason not to add completing-read-function?

No one has objected to the idea.
Could someone please implement this?

Let's wait when Stefan moves completing-read to minibuffer.el and then
just add (if completing-read-function (funcall completing-read-function ;-)

I'd love to see this implemented. I've already got 3 different
"<package>-completing-read-function" variables, one for each package I
maintain.

Sorry, someone else will have to patch the C code.
But the idea was that Stefan would move `completing-read' to Lisp
(`minibuffer.el'). ;-)
Then the patch for this will be trivial, as mentioned.
