That works for the simple completion, but not for the partial completion
or ido completion.

But if the latter two were to treat initial spaces specially (to mean
just "include hidden buffers"), and then do partial/ido completion, that
would be great.

That is, if you have a buffer called " *thing*", `C-x b SPC ing TAB'
would complete to the " *thing*" buffer.
