My experience on this type of discussions about flx says that you should
design a scoring algorithm based on some generic, human-related
heuristic that makes sense to you and stick to it. You will hear lots of
complaints by those that dislike the system, showing specific examples
that demonstrate "obvious" deficiencies on your approach. But it is
impossible to create something that makes everybody happy.
As long as Emacs can't read our minds, there will be no good-enough
completion mechanism. And even then... we are dealing with the Emacs
user base, you know :-)
