Helm is way, way overkill. I tried it for months and I can't get used to
it. It does too many things, has too many options, leaves buffers lying
around whenever you use it. But the way ido-mode works is quite perfect.
All except this one little visual detail that I'm thinking is probably easy
to fix.
