void function recentf-ido-find-file

[jrhorn424]

Somewhere, I got used to functionality similar to that provided by this function on emacs wiki:

    (defun recentf-ido-find-file ()
      "Find a recent file using Ido."
      (interactive)
      (let* ((file-assoc-list
          (mapcar (lambda (x)
                (cons (file-name-nondirectory x)
                  x))
              recentf-list))
         (filename-list
          (remove-duplicates (mapcar #'car file-assoc-list)
                     :test #'string=))
         (filename (ido-completing-read "Choose recent file: "
                        filename-list
                        nil
                        t)))
        (when filename
          (find-file (cdr (assoc filename
                     file-assoc-list))))))

I think this (or something similar) was defined in an earlier version of the starter kit. I haven't been able to find it in related core libraries, and it isn't in any of my customization files. It's very handy, especially since it's bound to C-x f in starter-kit-bindings.org.

I see, would you mind submitting a patch (or pull request) which adds
this function to starter-kit-defuns.org?
