I have just installed a change so that when there is an exact
match, ido puts it first in the list, so you can easily select it
with RET:
> ./XXX/{XXX,XXX-aaa,XXX-bbb,XXX-ccc}
As an added bonus, ido now does suffix-matching on directories, so
to select XXX/ above, all you need to enter now is X/ as that's
the only directory ending in an X. You can select the other
directories with a/, b/ and c/.

With the above change 'first ==> 'exact.
