The little patch below adds a link to reading file names. I do not
remember if I sent this before.

That seems out of context to me. Maybe the link to the Completion node
in in the File Name Completion node could be changed to Reading File Names:
@node File Name Completion
@subsection File Name Completion
@cindex file name completion subroutines
@cindex completion, file name
This section describes low-level subroutines for completing a file
name. For higher level functions, see @ref{Reading File Names}.

I have no opinion about the need for the cross-reference, but this is
incorrect Texinfo usage. @xref should not be used in the middle of a
sentence, you probably want "see @ref" instead. Try running your
patched version through makeinfo and look at the result, you will see
what I mean.

That seems like a good suggestion to me.
