I changed them a bit to make them presentable, so here's what I actually
put in Functions/Zle.  I hope I've deciphered the behaviour OK --- does the
incremental_completer really work yet?

Comments on behaviour:

- <TAB> in i-c-w should probably cause the function to exit if it
  gets a unique completion.  (Note menucompletion is now explicitly
  turned off inside the function.)
- a left parenthesis typed in insert-files is causing the whole function to
  crash; probably also nobadpattern needs to be set inside (I have it
  set all the time).


# incremental-complete-word() {

# Autoload this function, run `zle -N <func-name>' and bind <func-name>
# to a key.

# This allows incremental completion of a word.  After starting this
# command, a list of completion choices is shown after every character you
# type, which you can delete with ^h or DEL.  RET will accept the
# completion so far.  You can hit TAB to do normal completion and ^g to
# abort back to the state when you started.
#
# Completion keys:
#   incremental_prompt   Prompt to show in status line during icompletion
#   incremental_stop     Pattern matching keys which will cause icompletion
#                        to stop and the key to re-executed
#   incremental_break    Pattern matching keys which will cause icompletion
#                        to stop and the key to be discarded
#   incremental_completer  Name of completion widget to call to get choices
