Consider if
2 matches for "Emacs:" in buffer: *info*
189:* Emacs: (emacs-21/emacs). The extensible self-documenting text
240:* Emacs: (emacs-snapshot/emacs). The extensible self-documenting text
And the user hits "m Emacs TAB TAB TAB".
Well, all he will discover is
Possible completions are:
Emacs Emacs FAQ
Emacs Lisp Intro Emacs MIME
Emacs-Goodies-el Emacs-lisp-intro
emacs-wiki
The very vital information that there is more than one "Emacs" match
he will never know, unless he double checks with, e.g., M-x occur.
So he just ends up reading the first tree, never knowing there is a
second newer tree.
What we are seeing here is like when the grocer puts the fresher stuff
at the back of the shelf out of sight.
So TAB should cough up all the facts. Don't worry, it shouldn't fill
up the screen much more.
