Oh, no.  This would be so different from the way that the rest of
Emacs works.  I don't know how to explain it, but it just feels wrong.

When you hit C-x C-f and enter a filename, Emacs doesn't ask you
either which file you meant.  (Actually, the completion facility is a
way to do that, but your suggestion circumvents the completion
facility.)
