When I was first looking into improving my mailbox selection function
I was looking at how to just ask the user for input with
completions. Though now that I came across `tmm-prompt` I really
prefer this way of working, at least in this case.
However, today another function was mentioned, in response to someone
pointing out `org-completing-read`: `completing-read`. Wow that's a
far leap.
Anyway:
[[!format el """
(completing-read "Your favorite color: "
'("red" "green" "blue" "yellow"))
"""]]
This will ask for user input and provide these options as completions,
but it won't show a list of options, of provide shortcuts, like
`tmm-prompt` does.
It's good to know these things, and I really should read both the
emacs manual and the emacs lisp reference manual at some point.
