Not that anyone asked me, but in a way fuzzy matching is one of the main
reasons I use Emacs. You type a _non-contiguous_ string of letters, and
ido-mode (or whatever else), gradually narrows the possible matches down
to one. That (plus the way emacs fills in the blanks for you at the M-x
prompt) made me realize that "usability" and swooshy window animations
are quite unrelated concepts. I saw a variable called `ido-everywhere'
and though, "yes please!".
