Thanks, Jeroen. That's a significant improvement over fuzzy matching.
I agree with your observation on speed. Consider that exact substring
matching should be at least as fast as fuzzy matching. I really wonder
why this is not an option yet. If you type "gcc" and CtrlP comes up
with a suggestion of "kochen\MangoldSchinkenCannelloni.html", it might
be funny and wet your appetite but it's not what you were looking for.
