I haven't really followed iswitchb developments since I branched ido
from it (many full moons ago), so I don't know how much they have
diverted since them. I may have added some stuff on request from users,
but that was also a long time ago...

This sounds like a good idea - but I don't have time to look at it
anytime soon.

I guess the main task (besides migrating any newer features of iswitchb
to ido) is to find out which ido settings should be used for iswitchb
