Ok, thanks for the tip, 'completing-read' was the missing piece of the
puzzle for me.

I must admit I don't find everything so crystal clear and obvious in the
Elisp manual as you describe it here. Especially in the section about
(interactive), more and more comples examples would be helpful. On the
other hand, a 1000page manual is already thick enough, so I would not
call that a bug.
