The option to set org-use-fast-todo-selection to 'prefix was removed
without my noticing.  This breaks my workflow since I like the default
cycling behavior and only occasionally use fast todo selection to
switch between todo state sets.

It was removed in commit f1c030bed54737319aeb1d592e3340d6a48cea3a

Carsten proposed that change here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2019-08/msg00138.html

A couple of people chimed in to say they were in favor and nobody raised
an objection.  I personally prefer the new behavior as well.

While I think we should reassess that change if it turns out that it
breaks many people's workflow, for now I'd recommend that you advise
org-todo.

My problem with this is that there is a hard feature regression
here in that the ONLY way to jump to a particular TODO state is
by enabling fast todo selection, which requires one to ALWAYS use
fast todo selection.  There is no way to both not use fast todo
selection and also jump to a particular TODO state.

For example, the old behavior allowed one to use completion to
select a TODO state to jump to with C-u C-c C-t, which does not
require enabling fast todo selection.

This makes using ! or @ with TODO keywords basically unusable
without fast todo selection.
