Well, not quite. Uniquify does only prepend the path
if necessary - what I have implemented always has the
complete path. I agree that a uniquify approach might
be nice as well.

I just tried (I did not know about C-SPC in ido, great feature),
and this works just fine.
However, my standard way to work is to just type a substring
and then use C-s to cycle through the possibilities. But I
might make more use of C-SPC, like the idea.

It does show the full path right now, which can be long, of course.

I do like it a lot, but I think I should make a more
terse list with uniquify. Maybe there is some emacs/uniquify code I
can reuse....
