Dear all,

As the author of iswitchb, I was very happy to see M-x org-iswitchb
included.  Further, it is recommended as a default keybinding in the
manual:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3 Activation
==============

...
     (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
     (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
     (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
     (global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I was surprised when trying org-iswitchb that I didn't see the
iswitchb feedback when typing buffer names.  I eventually found that I
needed to set either of the following variables to t so that this would
work:

  org-completion-use-iswitchb, org-completion-use-ido

These variables are not mentioned in the docstrings of either
org-iswitchb or org-icompleting-read.   Here is a suggested patch to the
docstring for org-iswitchb.

Thanks for all the good work, as ever!

Stephen
