Hm, I think it should do the right thing without using match-spec
hacks.

The patch below does that by preferring exact character matches over
using match specs. I know I once had a reason for doing it
differently, but I can't remember which. The completion matching tests
work and the only ones that might be in danger are ones with partial
word matching (as far as I can see). And the recusive code for that
has been improved several times since I made it prefer match specs
over exact character matches.

So I've left a comment in there and we'll see if it breaks anything.

If it doesn't, fine, that would make matching quite a bit faster...

Bye
 Sven
