One could argue, that 'completing read' means: "show all candidates of
possible extensions of the current string that lead to a non-zero
match."

Personally, I think it would be unintuitive to have, for example:

 user: a<TAB>
 emacs: axxx    somepath/azzz            <= start by 'a'
 user: RETURN
 emacs:
   axxx
   yyyyayyy                                        <= contains 'a'
   wwwawww/wwwww
   somepath/azzzz

For me, it would be most sensible to restrict the use of the function
-P (i.e., completing and searching with /), but any other option
   (completing with /, search without /, or
    completing and searching without /)
would be an advantage.  So I would happily leave the decision to your expertise.

Regards,
  Tobias
