The last sentence of the penultimate paragraph of the docstring for
`read-file-name' doesn't make sense to me. It reads as follows:
. For graphical file dialogs, any the special values
of MUSTMATCH; `confirm' and `confirm-after-completion' are
treated as equivalent to nil.
Perhaps the word "any" should be "ignore".

By inspection, it should say something like:
For graphical file dialogs, any of the special values of MUSTMATCH
`confirm' and `confirm-after-completion' are treated as equivalent to
nil.
The idea is that MUSTMATCH = t is still supposed to work.
However, it does not work for me with GTK+ Version 2.18.9 on GNU/Linux
with 23.4 or the current trunk.
I tested with:
(define-key-after menu-bar-help-menu [key]
'(menu-item "foo" foo))
(defun foo (file)
(interactive (list (read-file-name "foo: " nil nil t)))
(setq foo file))
I can happily input a file name that does not exist via the menu-item.

I updated the doc to say:
For graphical file dialogs, any of the special values of MUSTMATCH
`confirm' and `confirm-after-completion' are treated as equivalent
to nil. Some graphical file dialogs respect a MUSTMATCH value of t,
and some do not (or it only has a cosmetic effect, and does not
actually prevent the user from entering a non-existent file).
