;; Defines the mode `minibuffer-electric-default-mode'.
;;
;; When active, minibuffer prompts that show a default value only show
;; the default when it's applicable -- that is, when hitting RET would
;; yield the default value.  If the user modifies the input such that
;; hitting RET would enter a non-default value, the prompt is modified
;; to remove the default indication (which is restored if the input is
;; ever restore to the match the initial input).

  "A list of regexps matching the parts of minibuffer prompts showing defaults.
When `minibuffer-electric-default-mode' is active, these regexps are

where REGEXP should match the default part of the prompt,
MATCH-NUM is the subgroup that matched the actual default indicator,
