Of course. What I'm saying it that there may be completing-read
that may benefit from an informed exit with something not in the
completion list. Calculating a completion list is fickle and often
it fails by scarceness.

Yep, that's my idea. Or a C-u to your icomplete-fido-exit would do just
fine,
too. Assume "secret password" is you being funny.

Well, I don't advise against it, you do. I just want to give users
a better library. But if you're fine with C-u.

Sure.

Sure, time-permitting, of course. But again, not that the changing of
the argument might _not_ be the fix. I expect the real fix in those
situations to be about the computation of the allowed completions.
Those are probably more complex fixes.
