It introduces a new keymap, minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map. Was this a final decision? Yes. OK. Questions: 1. Is there no need for a `minibuffer-local-filename-must-match-map' too? Some commands require an existing file name for a match; others let you input any name. 2. Should the name be *-filename-* or *-file-name-*? I see both spellings in Emacs (try `apropos file-?name') - with many more occurrences of `file-name'. Is there a naming convention for when to use one or the other spelling? If not, if the only reason there are two spellings is historical accident (I don't know), then it would be good to choose one and stick to it. It makes things like `apropos' easier to use.
