Okay. 2.32 now has some slightly better code to handle this; it starts
out with a default list, and then auguments that when it reads your
BBDB. What it doesn't do at present:

* complete on anything other than the phone and address labels. This
  is hardcoded, but there's room for change there. I promise I won't
  change the variable names again. Unless I really, really need to.

* update the lists when you add records in the current session.

* fold case. "Work" and "work" are two different labels.

* force you to use the list, or something. So it's still not quite the
  typo-prevention measure that you requested a few eons back. I guess
  it could work like C-o does - if you enter something it doesn't
  recognise, it asks you if you really meant that.

* complete on data. I've started on this, but I'm thinking about how
  generic I want to make it, and getting scared of the quantities of
  data involved and so forth. If you have a big BBDB, you could very
  quickly end up with a lot of completion lists. Also, some fields
  don't make sense to complete data on, such as Name or Net.

Cheers,
Waider.
