Yes.  The Icicles key for this is `S-SPC'.  I call this feature
"progressive completion".  It is typically a lot easier, and
quicker, to incrementally apply simple patterns to match than
it is to try to come up with a single complex pattern that is
equivalent.

A related feature for narrowing choices is what I call "chipping
away the non-elephant": matching candidates that you want to
exclude instead of include.
