Hi all,

Vim currently supports regular expression matching for command-line

completion of a pattern (help cmdline-completion).

What do you think about extending this to support fuzzy matching?

We can add a value to the 'wildoptions' option (e.g. 'fuzzymatch') to

enable fuzzy matching instead of regular expression matching

for builtin commands.
