        My point is that with read-string, we don’t need to implement
        two distinct commands for that, – either of my patches provides
        an empty prompt on ‘G’, yet makes the current page’s URI
        (along with a few others, for the second patch) available upon a
        keystroke (M-n or <down>.)
