Here is one good way to make multiple selections, very handy to
select for example multiple tags, so to tag objects, files, etc.

(let* ((collection '("emacs" "emacs-lisp" "visual"))
       (crm-separator "[ 	]*,[ 	]*" )
       (tags (completing-read-multiple "Tags: " collection nil t)))
  tags) ⇒ ("emacs" "visual")

The `completing-read-multiple' allows user to write multiple tags
or multiple selections separated in this case by comma. Beware,
there is invisible tab in the variable `crm-separator'.
