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
