i guess i expected completion to show only description with recently
saved at top. if i want, i can also select by ido's flex, c-spc,
arrow keys, etc. ido is already set up for accessibility for me and
is used all the time for other purposes.
then there is the opportunity for fanciness with sets of links
gathered and pasted in one place. i haven't considred what i would
need or what is possible there. except the crash-proof editing and
register ideas which are almost orthogonal.
