;;; Commentary:

;;; Loading this package implements a more fine-grained minibuffer
;;; completion feedback scheme.  Prospective completions are concisely
;;; indicated within the minibuffer itself, with each successive
;;; keystroke.

;;; See 'icomplete-completions' docstring for a description of the
;;; icomplete display format.

;;; See the `icomplete-minibuffer-setup-hook' docstring for a means to
;;; customize icomplete setup for interoperation with other
;;; minibuffer-oriented packages.

;;; To activate icomplete mode, simply load the package.  You can
;;; subsequently deactivate it by invoking the function icomplete-mode
;;; with a negative prefix-arg (C-U -1 ESC-x icomplete-mode).  Also,
;;; you can prevent activation of the mode during package load by
;;; first setting the variable `icomplete-mode' to nil.  Icompletion
;;; can be enabled any time after the package is loaded by invoking
;;; icomplete-mode without a prefix arg.

;;; Thanks to everyone for their suggestions for refinements of this
;;; package.  I particularly have to credit Michael Cook, who
;;; implemented an incremental completion style in his 'iswitch'
;;; functions that served as a model for icomplete.  Some other
;;; contributors: Noah Freidman (restructuring as minor mode), Colin
;;; Rafferty (lemacs reconciliation), Lars Lindberg, RMS, and
;;; others.
