Yep, I know the theory. :) I only wanted an example which is closer to
the typical use of emacs, that's why I mentioned files and buffers.
Anyway, it's not hard to do, so I'll implement it when I have the
time. Probably using buffers as an example even if it's not very
useful.

I'm an iswitchb fan myself and I actually prefer the iswitchb
interface for switching buffers, since buffer switching is very
frequent and iswitchb is not so disruptive (doesn't pop up a window).
I plan to implement an anything-iswitchb integration. Iswitchb will
work as usual, but if you're idle for a while then the iswitchb input
will be used as anything input and a buffer will popup with the
completions anything can offer.
Like with timid completion.
