Emacs has a bunch of packages for "intuitive" completion, but apparently
none of the popular ones (like ido) support completion for `C-x 8 C-m
TAB'? So if you know you want one of the ANGLE letters, it's a bit
difficult to complete to. So it'd be nice if ido (at least?) supported
substring completion in that command...

FWIW, Icicles does that.

So should is this more of a request for improving ido? Is there any
other "popular" completion mode that you are thinking of?
FWIW, looks like icomplete-mode works with insert-char.

If all the other ones do, I guess it's just for ido. :-)

And... thinking about it a bit more, it doesn't really make sense for
ido, either, so I'm closing this bug report.

That helps, but ido (and friends) do completion based on words, while
that will also get TRIANGLE, etc...

There is word-based ‘partial-completion’ in completion-styles-alist.

Ah, right, so (setq completion-styles '(partial-completion basic emacs22))
gets me the method that I wanted.
Thanks!
