I still can't figure out how to use your suggestions above to further
simplify my implementation below:

(defun my-pw-ATOMIC_POSITIONS2 ()
  (interactive
   (list
    (insert "ATOMIC_POSITIONS "
            (completing-read
             "flag: "
             '(("alat")
               ("bohr")
               ("angstrom")
               ("crystal")
               ("crystal_sg")
               )
             )))))
