i was unaware of this feature, bound to / in maint, so i tried it in maint before the fix and got a different result.
all of my categories have hyphens, and many of my files. i suspect on linux, osx, bsd*, etc., hyphenated filenames are common. my categories look like e-remember, e-refile, e-jinsei, o-bastien [just kidding], o-matt-lundin [ditto], etc. this allows me to have broad meta-categories like computer, org, extra, medical. so i tried it with e-, and it completed to e-refile without providing any choice. this is just incorrect. i really like hyphens so i hope they become first-class if possible.
