One could argue, that 'completing read' means: "show all candidates of
possible extensions of the current string that lead to a non-zero
match."
Personally, I think it would be unintuitive to have, for example:
user: a<TAB>
emacs: axxx somepath/azzz <= start by 'a'
user: RETURN
emacs:
axxx
yyyyayyy <= contains 'a'
wwwawww/wwwww
somepath/azzzz
For me, it would be most sensible to restrict the use of the function
-P (i.e., completing and searching with /), but any other option
(completing with /, search without /, or
completing and searching without /)
would be an advantage. So I would happily leave the decision to your expertise.
