;;; 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.
