wildmenu=full matching

Just an observation, which looks wrong.

:set wildmode=full
:set wi<tab>

I get these matches listed:
weirdinvert     wildcharm       wildignorecase  wildmode
winaltkeys      winheight       winfixwidth     winminwidth
wildchar        wildignore      wildmenu        wildoptions     window
         winfixheight    winminheight    winwidth

Why does "weirdinvert" show up when it does not begin with "wi"?

The specific setting of wildmode doesn't really matter, you also get this with:
:set wildmode=list:full

probably because 'wiv' ist the short form for 'weirdinvert'.

Thanks Guys. 

I guess in this case Vim is being smarter than me.

My guess is - whithout having looked it up in the source - that Vim uses
also the short option names for matching, which for weirdinvert is 'wiv'

regards,
Christian, never heard of the option weirdinvert...
