25;;; Commentary:
26;;
27;; Defines the mode `read-file-name-electric-shadow-mode'.
28;;
29;; The `read-file-name' function passes its result through
30;; `substitute-in-file-name', so any part of the string preceding
31;; multiple slashes (or a drive indicator on MS-DOS/MS-Windows) is
32;; ignored.
33;;
34;; If `read-file-name-electric-shadow-mode' is active, any part of the
35;; minibuffer text that would be ignored because of this is given the
36;; properties in `read-file-name-electric-shadow-properties', which may
37;; be used to make the ignored text invisible, dim, etc.
