What I don't like about this setup is that you may have similar
headlines in different places, and no way to see which is which.

If you pull the newest version, you have now an interesting alternative:

Restore the line in org-goto that you removed, and then do

(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)

Then targets for org-goto will still be identified by their entire
path, in this way removing disambiguates,  but you can then use
single-step completion to match the entire path, using ido if you wish.

By setting the variable, you will get the same interface in org-refile,
if you set org-refile-use-outline-path back to t.

Wow, this is *really* fast.

Maybe we should phase out the old org-goto interface that uses outline  
drilling.
Maybe I should start by setting the default for org-goto-interface to  
outline-path-completion.
Any thoughts about such a change?
