No, but the combination of removing this and removing the list wrapper solves the ordering issues I was trying to fix.  I wasn't sure why the cadr was there either.

Works for the first part and reverts to no assist on file: selection.

Excellent advice (yes, even the nitpicks :)

Subject: [PATCH] * org-insert-link: use ido when inserting links

org.el (org-insert-link): remove a list within the list of link
creation that causes a bug when using ido.  Remove the hard coded
iswitch and ido switches.

(org-iread-file-name): create a function that can use
ido-read-file-name if flagged as ok.

(org-file-complete-link): reference org-iread-file-name.
