How about allowing READ-DIR to be any predicate, so that the invoker
of read-file-name can filter file names in arbitrary ways?
This could be made consistent with the new locate-file function.
I suspect
that this would subsume read-file-name's existing MUSTMATCH argument
to some extent, since MUSTMATCH=t would be roughly equivalent to
READ-DIR=file-exists-p, but I can't think of a cleaner extension
offhand.
This suggests that we should redefine the MUSTMATCH argument
rather than add a new one.
