The idea is nice, but there is perhaps a problem with the current
implementation: There are many ways to complete in Emacs.

In for example tabkey2.el other choices are made available too. See
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TabCompletion for more info.
(tabkey2.el may be broken at the moment, I am not sure how it works
right now.)
