I couldn't agree more. The is (the formerly optional) partial completion at
work. It is now the default behavior to first try the traditional completion,
and if that finds no matches, automatically try partial completion. IMO, the
default behavior should remain as it was in Emacs 22 (21, 20...), and the new
behavior should be optional.
My first tendency is to dislike the new behavior, but now that I have
some idea what it does, I will try looking for some advantages in it.
However, a change like this calls for polling the users.
