Hi Eli,
I've no problem that you regularly rephrase my NEWS entries, even
though in this one I don't think there was _that_ much to gain. But
yours does read bit better, I admit.
Anyway, the problem with the new phrasing is that it's wrong.
It suggests fido-mode brings icomplete-stuff into ido-mode, while
the direction is pretty much the opposite. So I've edited thusly,
hope you don't mind.
Cheers,
João

This mode is based on Icomplete, and its name stands for "Fake Ido".
-The point of this mode is to be an 'ido-mode' workalike, but provide
-most of the functionality present in Icomplete that is not in
-'ido-mode', while being much more compatible with all of Emacs's
