RE: Entering filenames with spaces

        patch now which allows for inputting spaces in
        filenames in the minibuffer, while keeping the binding of space to
        minibuffer-complete-word in other contexts. It introduces a new
        keymap, minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map.

        Was this a final decision?
    Yes.
OK.


Questions:

1. Is there no need for a `minibuffer-local-filename-must-match-map' too?
Some commands require an existing file name for a match; others let you
input any name.

2. Should the name be *-filename-* or *-file-name-*?  I see both spellings
in Emacs (try `apropos file-?name') - with many more occurrences of
`file-name'.

Is there a naming convention for when to use one or the other spelling? If
not, if the only reason there are two spellings is historical accident (I
don't know), then it would be good to choose one and stick to it. It makes
things like `apropos' easier to use.
