iswitch with almost identical buffer names and auto-complete becomes un-helpful.

[anoop aryal]

hi all,

i had two buffers open with almost identical names ('abc' and 'abc.sh' among 
others). abc.sh was the current one. when i tried switching to 'abc' (iswitch 
was on), i could not switch since with C-x-b, ispell would bring up 
{abc.sh,abc} and ispell kept trying to push abc.sh as the completion 
for 'abc'.

not a big deal since i'm sure i can switch to 'abc' somehow but i was 
wondering if anyone has run into this situation and what the thing to do is.

Or C-r, depending on the situation.
