Re: Entering filenames with spaces

It is pleasingly simple.  I have a few comments on details.

    +   initial_define_key (Vminibuffer_local_filename_completion_map, '\t',
    +                 "minibuffer-complete");
    +   initial_define_key (Vminibuffer_local_filename_completion_map, '?',
                          "minibuffer-completion-help");

I think it would be cleaner to use Vminibuffer_local_completion_map
as this map's parent, and override only the SPC character.

    *** For filenames, Space is not bound to completion any longer

You need a period after that.  Also, it should be "SPC", not "Space".

    Filenames with spaces can be input intuitively with the space bar now,
    space is not bound to `minibuffer-complete-word' any longer.

That should be "SPC", not "space".  Also, it is a run-on sentence.

    A new key map minibuffer-local-filename-completion-map applies whenever
    a file name is prompted for.

That is passive--please rewrite it in the active voice.
