BTW, the default completion in Emacs-23 is very close to
partial-completion-mode. More to the point, if you remove `basic' from
`completion-styles', it should be pretty much identical except for the
following known differences:
- no <foo.h> style completion for file names.
- M-x lch TAB doesn't know how to expand to `list-command-history'.
And even if you don't remove `basic', the behavior is fairly close.
Also it should fix the problem you're reporting and provides
a few improvements.
Since partial-completion-mode is slated for obsolescence (tho not
marked obsolete yet), I'm interested to hear if you find some other
missing feature.
Stefan
