Indeed, this makes sense when selecting a candidate that does not exit
the minibuffer, like `find-file'. I, for one, do not think that the
current behaviour of `choose-completion' wherein it completely ignores
whatever typed after the creation of the *Completions* buffer is
unexpected when it comes to commands like `describe-function' which
exits the minibuffer upon selecting the candidate.

If the above still does not convince you, then we will have to agree
to disagree.
