I don't have any specific example in my mind, I was also thinking about
what you said above about the rope and hang yourself.

Agreed.
But in terms of coming to some sort of conclusion: This thread started
with the question:
When do you plan to remove the `INITIAL-INPUT` argument from
`completing-read`?
I think the answer is: This will not happen, so don't worry.
If so, is the docstring of `completing-read' inaccurate or misleading?
If so, should there be a bug report and/or a change suggestion?
WDYT?
Best, Arash
