Hmm, it's nearly the same as using :b some words<tab>, just that it uses
incremental filtering of the buffer list. I am still in favor of keeping
:b the way it is now, but changing 'b' to show "hints for the tabs" or
using numbered tabs.

BTW: :map b b<Tab><S-Tab> should work when 0.5 is released, to initially
show the completions after hitting b.
