For some reason I get the impression you think that using SPC as your
auto-completion key is not optimal or desirable, which I find
interesting, given that it's the default in emacs. No?  I guess I
don't understand why planner-multi would re-map such a commonly used
minibuffer key binding.  Am I really the only one out there that this
has bothered?

Thanks, I'll try that, though I'm still interested in the "why we
thought this was a good idea" :) Defaults are usually a good thing,
and an app shouldn't change defaults at least without some warning
and/or explanation ( usability 101 :)
