Subject: bug#36554: 27.0.50; Wishlist: `insert-char' should have better completion
Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2019 19:19:44 +0200
Emacs has a bunch of packages for "intuitive" completion, but apparently
none of the popular ones (like ido) support completion for `C-x 8 C-m
TAB'?  So if you know you want one of the ANGLE letters, it's a bit
difficult to complete to.  So it'd be nice if ido (at least?) supported
substring completion in that command...
