Like how M-x icomplete-mode works, what if the Emacs user does the
following to find the right channel for reporting a bug to?
1. <S-return>
Summons the neural inference engine's interactive prompt.
Gotcha, org-mode uses <S-return> for something else.
2. type: bug
All the possible channels are displayed for reporting a bug to.
For example, like how M-x occur shows a listing to pick from.
HNY.
ps. I wasn't able to reply to EB's off-list email, the data session is
rejected. I don't know why. Maybe operators are on holidays.
