What were you trying to do?

	Use filename completion in emacs.


What's wrong:

	It's broken.

	> touch foo-bar
	> touch foobar

	Then in emacs, ^X^F, complete on foo; foobar is never in
	your options for completion.


What should have happened:

	The special case code for "-" shouldn't break things.
