+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; Defines the mode `read-file-name-electric-shadow-mode'.
+;;
+;; The `read-file-name' function passes its result through
+;; `substitute-in-file-name', so any part of the string preceding
+;; multiple slashes (or a drive indicator on MS-DOS/MS-Windows) is
+;; ignored.
+;;
+;; If `read-file-name-electric-shadow-mode' is active, any part of the
+;; minibuffer text that would be ignored because of this is given the
+;; properties in `read-file-name-electric-shadow-properties', which may
+;; be used to make the ignored text invisible, dim, etc.
