+;;; Commentary
+
+;; A file completion style in which the completion string displayed to
+;; the user consists of the file basename followed by enough of the
+;; directory part to make the string identify a unique file.
+;;
+;; We accomplish this by preprocessing the list of absolute file names
+;; to be in that style, in an alist with the original absolute file
+;; names, and do completion on that alist.
