I find it _very_ helpful. What you say is true for only a few corner cases,
in general.
The current code handles all cases acceptably. It sounds like your
method is better in most cases, but much worse in a few cases.
As it is, we cannot use it.
For
instance, even if you can't read its name in *Completions*, and you can't
guess what it is by its position in the alphabetized list,...
It is not acceptable for that to happen.
However, maybe someone can turn your feature into a good one by adding
a special case check for the cases that look bad with your code, and
treat them differently. The result could be a feature that is always
acceptable, while still having the same benefits in the usual case.
That would be something we could install.
