 ***************
 
 After ‘C-x b’ (‘ido-switch-buffer’), the buffer at the head of the list
 can be killed by pressing ‘C-k’.  If the buffer needs saving, you will
 be queried before the buffer is killed.  ‘C-S-b’ buries the buffer at
 the head of the list.
 
    Likewise, after ‘C-x C-f’, you can delete (i.e., physically remove)
 the file at the head of the list with ‘C-k’.  You will always be asked
 for confirmation before deleting the file.
 
    If you enter ‘C-x b’ to switch to a buffer visiting a given file, and
 you find that the file you are after is not in any buffer, you can press
 ‘C-f’ to immediately drop into ‘ido-find-file’.  And you can switch back
 to buffer selection with ‘C-b’.
 
    You can also use Ido in your Emacs Lisp programs:
 
      (setq my-pkgs (list "CEDET" "Gnus" "Rcirc" "Tramp" "Org" "all-of-them"))
      (ido-completing-read "What's your favorite package? " my-pkgs)
