Yes, thank you (closing bug #173).  BTW, I just discovered your comments
on bug #153.  They missed me because

a) you did not CC me, and I am not subscribed to the Emacs bug tracker;

b) I did not even know that I submitted a bug report (it was just a
   question sent to emacs-devel, and you seem to have resent it to
   submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org).

I do quite like the latest completion code, but can imagine that other
people might find it a bit confusing.  Also, if a directory has no
non-trivial subdirectories, C-x d TAB completes to . and .., which is
probably less useful than immediately listing all possible file name
completions.
