I agree with Hadley that consistency is quite important. This is especially true for data.frames and lists, as this concerns the data itself, and not names or attributes of the data. I would very much like to see at least at the level of R CMD check warnings for *all* partial matching so that they can be ironed out before in the next stage warnings are give to the user (as mentioned by Milan). I was bitten at least once by a bug, which cost me quite some time to figure out, caused by partial completion and would very much like to see it go (or at least have the option to show warnings if it occurs).
