Hello,

yes, the "-readable" test of find has no counterpart in
`find-constituents'.  Dunno if other stuff is also missing.  Maybe
someone should go through the "find" manpage and supplement
`find-constituents'.

And, btw, the user may want to modify `find-constituents' himself,
e.g. because entries are missing, or he wants to add own abbrevs.  So,
shouldn't `find-constituents' be a defvar, and not a defconst?


Thanks,

Michael.

Done (in trunk), thanks.

The defconst just signifies that the variable is unlikely to change over
the course of normal Emacs usage; should the user want to modify it,
there is nothing stopping her from doing so.
