24.3; ido-completing-read is not a replacement for completing-read |

Starting from emacs -Q -nw --eval "(setq completing-read-function
#'ido-completing-read)"
Then M-x gives
ido-set-matches: Wrong type argument: listp, [gnus-put-display-table
message-check-news-body-syntax gnus-make-overlay ido-save-history
message-check-element qp-or-base64 message-insert-wide-reply
help-xref-url-regexp ido-word-matching-substring gnus-set-file-modes
...]
I gather from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/134000 that
ido-completing-read is supposed to be wrapped, but there should at
least be some indication of this in the docstring. It certainly
shouldn't claim to be the "Ido replacement for the built-in
`completing-read'."

I probably shouldn't have read "replacement for" as "perfect
replacement for". The docstrings do explain the different type
requirements, so there is no need to keep this open.
Note: for an actual ido completing-read-function see ido-ubiquitous.
