This would be fairly disturbing when using mod_query
"query_attachclient" and "query_gotoclient", since those need the 
exact clientwindow name. 

If they were able to "grep" or "glob" what you type in this wouldn't
be a problem (ie. if I only type "Firef", this would give me my 
Firefox and whatever web address I'm visiting) but you'll have to
handle problems when there are more than one possibility (ie.
I have several Firefoxes managed by Ion).

In fact, those two functions, or using the windowlist menu, may 
be a much cleaner solution to the source problem Yojuancho 
was speaking about : quick switching between apps.

Well I agree THAT would be dirty.

Why not. Maybe you can add a function that toggles tab 
enumerating, instead of just displaying these a short time,
but I don't know if it would be hard to manage enumeration 
when killing/moving/creating clientwindows in each tab.
