IMO, it's good to encourage Emacs-Lisp programmers to use completion more
for reading user input. I suspect that some of us use `read-string' and
`read-from-minibuffer' in situations where we might advantageously use
`completing-read' (or another read-with-completion function).
I don't like the idea of complicating minibuffer input or taking away
commands in cases where there is no real set of valid completions.
