I've tried it out, and it's pretty nice. The latency seemed to be a bit 
bigger than with the default completion table based on 'find', but not 
significantly so.

path-iterator doesn't have to handle the contents of .gitignore, so it's 
not a huge surprise. If support is added, it's sure to become slower.

I don't think it can be *the* UI for everybody. Yeah, being able to type 
abbreviated names can be nice, but a lot of users will prefer full 
directories and fuzzy matching based on completion styles. Segregating 
by project types probably won't work well either.

The first thing I've noticed, actually.
