After being frustrated a few times when looking for my friend Chris Geib in
the database and realizing that he is Christopher, I stuck "Chris Geib"
into the AKA. Then the same thing happened with my friend Barry D. Reich
when I looked for Barry Reich.
I wonder how difficult it is for BBDB to do two new things when looking to
complete a name. (I suppose this would go into bbdb-complete-name.)
1) Substitute common nicknames when it cannot find the name given
by the user. This might be an alist "bbdb-common-nicks-alist"
with '((Michael . Mike) (Janet . Jane) ...)
2) Ignore middle names/initials when attempting to match names.
If you think I should do it, can you give me some pointers/hints?
