The idea is nice, but there is perhaps a problem with the current implementation: There are many ways to complete in Emacs. In for example tabkey2.el other choices are made available too. See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TabCompletion for more info. (tabkey2.el may be broken at the moment, I am not sure how it works right now.)
