Hi João,

My use case is very simple: I have a directory which, among others,
contains files named 1, 2, etc.  It’s really annoying that C-x C-f 2 RET
does not find 2 but instead finds some other file containing 2 in its
name.

Also, I can’t start an R process by doing M-x R RET.  (You need to have
R and ESS installed for this, of course.)

Best regards,
Dario
