Yes, it's nice but annoying in that it will only autocomplete the  
first match (does anyone have a workaround?). For instance, if you  
are trying to get to '/Library/Application Support' it will match '/ 
Library/Application Enhancers' first and won't go to the next match  
with tab or the arrows.

Also note that you can trigger it with Cmd-Shift-G in the dialog.
