You're right. Taking a look at this with completing-read I see it's not
obvious what defaulting will do.

The default is usually what I want to select, so I like being able to
just hit tab/enter to select it.

I'm using ido-ubiquitous, which installs ido-completing-read overtop
completing-read along with some compatability tweaks.
