Documentation

Control how the first character of a string is to be interpreted.

If nil, the first character of a string is not taken literally if it is a word delimiter, so that ".e" matches "*.e*". If t, the first character of a string is always taken literally even if it is a word delimiter, so that ".e" matches ".e*". If non-nil and non-t, the first character is taken literally only for file name completion.
