Re: propose adding Icicles to Emacs

[Richard Stallman]

    User option `icicle-init-value-flag', if non-nil, copies the default value
    for completion to the minibuffer as an initial value. In that case, the
    option also determines whether the initial value is preselected (region)
    and, if so, where point and mark should be positioned.

That feature makes sense, it is only the term "preselect" that is the
problem.  That is not normal Emacs terminology, so please find another
way to describe the feature.
