Gosh, where did you guys dig this thread up from? :)

Thanks for the refinements on the original function, and for the tips on
ido related packages in elpa repos -- I hadn't been aware of that. I've
been a tiny bit annoyed with this function ever since I wrote it
(obviously not annoyed enough, since that was years ago), as progressive
narrowing didn't work the way I wanted it to. Kevin, I'll give your
version a whack, and maybe come back with some more refinements in a
bit.

Thanks!
