Provide an option for fuzzy matching: ido-at-point-fuzzy #4

For example, this would suggest "ido-at-point-complete" for the query "iapc". This is similar to the functionality that flx-ido provides where you can access a function quickly via its abbreviation.

The use of the fuzzy matching depends on ido-at-point-fuzzy; the functionality of the package won't change unless the user changes ido-at-point-fuzzy.

Thanks, we missed this feature!

Thanks for merging it in! I'm not sure if mapatoms is really the quickest way to resolve that all-completions step, but I couldn't perceive a speed difference when using the fuzzy matching, so I went ahead with it. :)

Hi Daniel,

It appears, split-string has an optional param to remove the empty string paddings.

(split-string STRING &optional SEPARATORS OMIT-NULLS)

If OMIT-NULLS is t, zero-length substrings are omitted from the list (so that for the default value of SEPARATORS leading and trailing whitespace are effectively trimmed). If nil, all zero-length substrings are retained, which correctly parses CSV format, for example.

By the way, since IDO already has ido-enable-flex-match, would you mind if we used it instead of our own option (ido-at-point-fuzzy)?
