So being new to elisp, I'm hoping there's a simple hack to disable the org-clock-select-task menu and go to a default (e.g. `C-x b' or `C-x f') style "type your option" interface that will would be populated with and return the same thing as the select-task-menu? 

I've been looking at the elisp behind the buffer switching functions and I'm afraid it's beyond me; perhaps the "default" of invoking a prompt and passing autocompletion values isn't as simple as I'd hoped?
