Yes, it's rare, but very nice when data is in columns and you need to  
edit one, or sometimes when you duplicate a print statement, and want  
to overwrite the leading part, but keep the padding so that the  
trailing stuff is at the same position (a tad like columns, and a tad  
like the comment example).

Autocomplete should overwrite while in overwrite mode (and so should  
paste really, though I wasn't sure initially) -- that said, I can't  
give any ETA on these things, but I may look at it later today.
