All due respect, particularly for such an effort, however I think Jean
Louis' solution is far too complex, especially for someone not well
versed in Elisp.  Which I am still assuming, as Pietru have not
explicitly stated so (or not) yet.

My path of questioning was trying to draw out relevent info, with the
end goal of suggesting the right solution.  If that solution is a simple
completing-read then so be it but I am not even sure we have determined
that is the correct (or preferred) solution yet.

In particular, hash tables are not needed with the sorts of numbers of
candidates I think we are talking about here.

Cheers,
TRS-80
