Subject: bug#5955: completions in M-x find-library include .elc files
Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:28:57 -0400

Typing TAB or ? in M-x find-library shows .el and .elc files when it
probably should just be the name of the library without the extension.
 Appears that this is a general problem with
locate-file-completion-table in files.el.  It appears to put all files
in to the completion table without condition.  The fix is just
removing the first `push' operation.

 	      (setq file (substring file 0 (match-beginning 0)))

Hope this can get fixed.  I'd love to have the size of my
*completions* buffers reduced by a factor of 3!

Thanks for Emacs,
