A couple more alternatives to merging all backends upfront:

  - Start with default backend and then rotate available backends with a
    key (M-r?)
  - Dynamically query all backends after 2-3 keystrokes 

Both strategies make sense only if you prompt first. They also go best
with visual feedback as in IDO or HELM.
