Yes, that fine.  I meant, let's not change it _further_ (if that was indeed
what you were proposing).

Also, I think, for safety, that we still should have in the
fido-mode-keymap
sth bound to the "atomic" give-me-whatever-is-in-minibuffer
command, maybe C-M-j or something like that.  Even if it
_does_ break the required-match semantics somewhere else,
it just seems like a good idea.

Hmmm, isn't that how ido-mode behaves already, and how fido-mode
behaves, at least to a large extent? If so it seems fine.
