I originally reported this because I found it jarring to get a bunch
of completions without having entered anything. In my home dir it
basically shows me garbage (dot files that I'm never interested in).

Would it not be possible to make a difference between the case where
find-file provides some default text (current dir) and where I have
entered some input? The variable literally says -on-no-input.

This is probably a wishlist thing - so I'm not going to complain if
you keep it closed. :)
