RE: Q on read-file-name and completion-ignored-extensions

    Works for me and worked in Emacs-20 and Emacs-21 as well.
    Please give a recipe.

emacs -q

(setq completion-ignored-extensions (cons ".el"
completion-ignored-extensions))

cd to a directory with .el files

M-: (read-file-name "foo: ")

Type the beginning of the name of one of the .el files - e.g. app, then TAB.

I see all files starting with "app" in *Completions*, including .el files.
If there is only one matching file, then its name is inserted in the
minibuffer.
