The selection interface will need to be redesigned anyway to cope with
multi-stage selection. Using the remember buffer to display the available
templates makes sense, I also like the idea of using a tabular layout.
I am still working on the remember rewrite. Unfortunately I haven't been able to
devote as much time to it as I had wanted, so it's still not ready for wider
testing. I think I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the refactoring and adding
plist templates.
I have auto-expanding minibuffers turned on (Emacs 22.2) and haven't noticed any
problems with them, so I'd suggest Wes give them another try.
