0001-Support-list-of-default-values-in-completing-read-mu.patch
Description: Text Data

Steps to reproduce:

1) emacs -Q
2) Evaluate the following form:

   (let ((l '("a" "b")))
     (completing-read-multiple "" l nil nil nil nil l))

3) C-m

I expect this to result in the string "a", as is the case when
completing-read-multiple is replaced with completing-read in step 2,
given the following excerpt from the docstring of c-r-m:

  The arguments are the same as those of `completing-read'.

Instead, the following error is signalled:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp ("a" "b"))
  string-match("[ \011]*,[ \011]*" ("a" "b") 0)
  split-string(("a" "b") "[ \011]*,[ \011]*" t)
  completing-read-multiple("" ("a" "b") nil nil nil nil ("a" "b"))

I attach a fix which follows the implementation of
completing-read-default.

Thanks,
