Ideally `completing-read' would provide the > superset of ido, iswitchb, icomplete, ivy, etc. icomplete is already integrated with completing-read, and should already provide a more-or-less superset of iswitchb, yes. Not sure if ivy's model really fits into completing-read, but at least I can't see any strong reason why we couldn't extend the current completing-read system to provide all ido features. > OK, thanks.
