directory-files-recursively and completion-ignored-extensions

[T.V Raman]

Feature Request:

Would it be possible to have directory-files-recursively take
completion-ignored-extensions into account?

Only if someone comes up with a way of doing that in a
backward-compatible way.

For starters, add an  optional boolean
'completion-respect-ignored-extensions that default to nil

tl;dr: This has nothing to do with completion, AFAICT.

Not meaning to distract, but `directory-files-recursively' is not a command, a fortiori not a command that prompts for completion or otherwise uses completion in any way.

IF the idea is to use a variable that has a list of extensions to be ignored by `directory-files-recursively', and IF the default content of `completion-ignored-extensions' is what's desired as the default content of that var used by `directory-files-recursively', THEN I'd suggest adding a new var and have its value default to the value of `completion-ignored-extensions'.

I'm talking about implementation, not just specification.
