    "Nobody uses the file name completion (that I noticed), all you get is
     the get-tty-file function, it's up to you to use it."

When was the last time you used "visit-file"?  It most certainly uses
file name completion.  File name completion is one of the handiest
things I have ever used.  As my dad would say: "It's the greatest thing
since popcorn"!

I'm sure that there are several other wired functions that use file
name completion in #264 (such as "read-file", "insert-file" and
"unlink-file") and it's easy to change most any MLisp function that
doesn't use it when it asks for a file name.  Just replace
"get-tty-string" with "get-tty-file".
