Re: emacs completion inferior to bash's

[Dan Jacobson]

$ ls
sssssssss
$ emacs
C-x C-f s s <tab> <tab>
We need the second tab to see the Sole completion message,
Whereas in bash, one tab is enough. (A space gets added after the sssssssss)

Probably tough for emacs to change the design.
Still you should add some way for the user to know if he has got the
sole completion with one tab. I know: print the [sole completion]
message upon the first tab?
