Probably, yes. But that would be a fairly different mode of operation,
doing basically what icomplete does.

icomplete is less obtrusive, but ido is definitely more efficient, with
its non-prefix and flex matching.
And, in order to not have to bother with C-j for items not present in
the existing set, with icomplete you always have type or press Tab to
get to the desired item, maybe several times, even if the item is the
first in the list.
Thus, for switching buffers, icomplete is less efficient than both ido
and iswitchb.
