I have been using icomplete-mode for a while. Bzr trunk has an enhanced
version.
My only complain is that the icomplete-mode starts showing completions
only after you enter the first character. If the first character is
wrong, then you get a more useless "No match" or some such thing.
There is a buglet in the queue, only that it is not filed.
