lisp/ChangeLog:

2014-11-15  Matthew Leach  <matthew@mattleach.net>

	* minibuffer.el
	(completion-use-stored-completions-when-no-input): New.
	(completion--complete-and-exit): Use the above to decide whether
	to use the car of `completion-all-sorted-completions' as the
	candidate.

	* icomplete.el (icomplete-minibuffer-setup): set
	`completion-use-stored-completions-when-no-input' when
	`icomplete-show-matches-on-no-input' is t.
