I agree... and what is overwrite mode good for anyway, by the way? :-p.

ASCII diagrams or anal-retentive-attention-to-cosmetic-formatting are the only cases I've ever used it for. The only sort of case where I can imagine combining overwrite mode with auto-complete would be a case like this:

function foo( ){ ... } // *** end foo *******************************************************

function beejergle_jaggle( ){ ... } // *** end beejergle_jaggle ******************************************

(For those not using a monospace font, there are the same number of characters in each comment line, where the longer function name has replaced asterisks.)
