See also: eudc-expand-inline, which works at point as long as the
to-be-completed string is the only thing between beginning-of-line and
point.  This is what I use for inline BBDB and LDAP completion anywhere
in Emacs, not just in message-mode headers.  It's useful, for example,
when adding someone's email address to an Org-mode entry (type a few
letters of their first name, then M-x eudc-expand-inline).

Maybe we could add an EBDB backend for EUDC.
