I know, but before you recall the directory argument, you recalled the command

because you wanted to execute it again.  My point was just that you didn't have
to type `M-x make-directory RET' again.

The other alternative is to recall the command and its argument with `C-x M-:',

then edit the argument.

I don't understand what completion or ido have to do with recalling a previous
command or argument.
