I don't know if I'm misreading it, but from what I read about
this mode, it seems to only provide completions for minibuffer
commands. Undoubtedly useful feature, and for this usecase I already
use ido-mode with fuzzy matches. But in my original text I was rather
referring to autocompletion when you write code/text, i.e. in buffers
different from the minibuffer.
