Ah, I see.
A single `i' would be great, f/d/t are provides the same functionality
more or less. I always thought `i d' and `i t' were proper subsets of
`i f' in terms of what they could do, but I understand the difference
now. And I'm a fan of always/ask/never customization approach
discussed earlier when it comes to recursive insertion.
`I' for inserting exotic media is a good idea. I wouldn't invest any
time on an electric prompt, all the completions that were suggested
were short, and I don't think that the commands need that speed.
After all, inserting is not text editing.
That said, an electric prompt could be a cool idea whenever there is a
finite and relatively... localized set of input. Anyhow, it could not
get more complex than the prompt in ido-mode.

No problem, working around bugs can be both educational and fun!

P.P.S. Me too.
