Did I miss a discussion somewhere about obsoleting iswitchb and replacing it with icomplete? The obsolescence itself is a little surprising to me, as I personally know of a few people who prefer it to more featureful alternatives, but far more surprising to me is the designation of icomplete as its successor instead of ido. It's my impression that ido is _far_ more widely used than icomplete. That impression is based on how very frequently ido is recommended or inquired about on #emacs, in stark contrast to icomplete, which is recommended or inquired about there approximately never. The last mention of icomplete in my logs (which do have some holes) was on August 23, nearly three months ago; the last mention of ido was yesterday. Josh
