Right. The request is from 2004 and not being commented for almost 3
years. I thought it was more or less either forgotten or not taken care
of.

This present thread leads leads me to second #156858 AND to request for
the type-ahead memory to be persistent - if I well understand it's
reset when I restart the app.

Worth to post a comment to #156858 and submit a new query for the
type-ahead memory in your opinion?
