BTW, I encountered one problem with this functionality.

For instance, when there is a buffer with the name "*grep*", typing
`C-x b *g TAB' completes to this name, good.  But when I do the same
and the *grep* buffer doesn't exist for various reasons then the
completion list is confusing, it displays a large list of irrelevant
completions.

This is a minor problem but it would be better to improve this somehow.
