Message-ID: <1401299088212-323117.post@n5.nabble.com> (raw)

I'm curious what the numbers passed to the completing-read function are
used for. Here is the example I found online:

(completing-read
 "Complete a foo: "
 '(("foobar1" 1) ("barfoo" 2) ("foobaz" 3) ("foobar2" 4))
 nil t "fo")

This function appears to work fine without the 1, 2, 3, 4.
