Yes, I know. And except for the change in completion-styles, I like it.
Not so much for plain icomplete-mode where the fido keybindings are
missing.

If I understand the docs correctly, `completion-category-overrides'
override the normal `completion-styles' on a category basis. I have
these customizations:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq completion-styles '(basic partial-completion substring flex)
completion-category-overrides
'((ecomplete
(styles basic partial-completion substring))
(buffer
(styles basic partial-completion substring))
(unicode-name
(styles basic partial-completion flex))
(info-menu
(styles basic partial-completion flex))
(project-file
(styles basic partial-completion substring initials))
(file
(styles basic partial-completion substring initials))
;; TODO: There's actually no command category (yet).
(command (styles basic partial-completion substring initials))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So when completing buffers, completion-styles will be
(basic partial-completion substring)
whereas when completing files it'll be
(basic partial-completion substring initials)
and when not completing something in the overrides, it'll go with the
normal customized completion-styles of
(basic partial-completion substring flex).
I don't know when this happens, but it might be that it is before
`icomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook' is called and then setting
`completion-category-overrides' wouldn't have an effect. I'll test...
Thanks,
Tassilo
