I would think that if I was just starting off with Emacs, then some of
the M-x shortcuts would look cryptic and would still be more distracting
than helpful, particularly if I didn't know that the shortcut was the
minimum needed to complete to the actual command name.
Also, I wonder if the minimum shortcut could change if a user had  more
packages loaded.
