I'm reasonably sure that more of these observations would apply to
ido-mode as well. Adam, have you tried it? Maybe with
ido-ubiquitous-mode (so it applies to all completing-read calls).
The difference vs. Ivy is about full flex (fuzzy) matching versus only
allowing arbitrary text where the search string has spaces. That's why
Ivy only matches the intended buffer for the input "init".
And fuzzy matching doesn't work as well when input strings are so long.
fido-mode could benefit from a possibility to choose a search style like
Ivy's, but first, I think, we should unbind SPC from
minibuffer-complete-word everywhere.
