To clarify: I have not stated any opinion on what you suggest, for the
simple reason that I do not know/understand what it is.
Are you reporting a bug in ido, a bug in icomplete, requesting new
features in icomplete?

No, I just don't understand what they're about.
E.g. why/when do you need them? Why are they a problem? Would you want
them to be included in Emacs? If not, are you saying that it should
be easier to do it in one's .emacs?

AFAIK, the default completion is fairly consistent.
The iswitchb completion is inconsistent by nature: it's specific to
buffer completion.
So, this is requesting a change in ido?
