I've been playing with your fuzzy matching for about a week now.  I
really, really like it.

The only issue I have is that I can't seem to get tab completion to
work.  For simple prompts I can just press enter once the item I want is
selected.  But for more complicated menus, such as the shell menu, I
want to be able to press tab and have the current item expanded so I can
start entering arguments.  This doesn't seem to work.

I've also noticed that if I have fuzzy matching turned on in the shell
prompt and start to complete a file path it crashes the prompt and I
have to restart xmonad to remove the X window that the prompt created.
