[Vimperator] Completion of URLs.

Let's say I have many sites in my history:
myVeryLongUrlToPointToMyVideos.com
mywhatever1.com
mywhatever2.com
...
mywhatever10000.com
mysite.com
myserver.com


I want to open myserver.com.
I type "o my Tab".
The command line is autocompleted to myVeryLongUrlToPointToMyVideos.com.
To reach myserver.com, I can:
either Tab for 10000 times,
or backspace 10 times in order to modify my input to become "mys", and
eliminate most of the false positives of the completion list.

My wish:
when a URL is completed with Tab, the appended part to your input is
"highlighted". If you want to precise the URL by typing additionnal
characters, then the higlighted part is replaced by the new characters
typed and the completion choice is relaunched based on that new input.

Does it sound useful?
