address@hidden: PC-completion and trailing dashes.]

[Richard Stallman]

Would someone else who knows and uses partial-completion-mode
please take a look and see if this is a good fix?

  Here's the problem:

  emacs -Q
  M-x partial-completion-mode RET
  M-x set- RET then click a choice, you'll have the error message
  `Symbol function definition is void: set-yourchoice-'

  M-x set-s- RET then select one and your choice will be suffixed with
  `-s-'.

  The smallest change I can propose is the following:

  The  aim  is  that `choose-completion-string'  will  `delete-region'
  everything from (+ base-size (point-min)) to (point-max).

  The added  function could  also directly erase  the region,  I don't
  know what's the best here. I don't even know if this way is ok ;-)

  Thanks in advance, however.
