Replacement for `read-directory-name`?

[michaelmhoffman]

Is there a good way to replace read-directory-name with consult-dir? Looks like including all the features of read-directory-name would require some additional code.

The main problem you'd run into is that consult-dir offers a limited selection of directories, whereas read-directory-name can read any existing (or non-existing) directory.

May I ask why you want to replace read-directory-name with consult-dir? The two serve very different functions as I understand it.
