Anyone who's not test-driven one of the partial completion packages
floating around should do themselves a favor and do so. Partial
completion lets you abbreviate not only whole commands, such as
"insert-f" for "insert-file", but also the words that make up a
command, so you can just type "ins-f" for "insert-file". Or, say,
"l-d-a" for "lisp-directory-apropos", which segues nicely into:
Emacs Lisp Code Apropos -- "partial"

Martin Marietta Energy Systems all the money they need and the Air Force
Workstation Support has to hold a bake sale to buy a new bomber.
